No one will even know you're here, tucked behind the elephant ear's and umbrella plant. A bench by a water garden serves a unique purpose. Water gardens are relatively low maintenance and there are stretches of time when you barely notice them, because you're so busy weeding elsewhere. A nearby bench lets you pause and enjoy an ecosystem so unlike the rest of your garden in it's plants, insects and animals.
