Bench Planter

One of my first projects was adding gravel to the breeze way so it would look better, I wouldn't have to cut the grass there, and to make my little home that much bigger. When you have a small area you make all of it work for you.

I got a old bench for free from Craigslist. I had to go to Brentwood and get it, but it was free. It is a little used and run down but it still holds people. So I kept the old wood on it so it had a rustic look.

Added some 4x4 post to give the bench a little height. I put the bench right where the living room window was. Adding the 4x4 gave it enough height that you can watch tv outside over the couch. That will be good during football season.


I moved all the gravel out of the way and dug down a couple of inches. I then added some dirt from the load of dirt I got a little while ago. Then I added 3 lily hostas since the bench wont allow a lot of sunlight. I then added some potting soil so they should do pretty good.
