The bench is positioned in front of my pond and is a great place to sit in the morning to relax with a cup of coffee before work. I made the hypertufa containers and the large orb to the right of the bench. The containers are a great place for small perennials or mini conifers. Sitting just at the edge of the water in a container is a potted Gunnera.  It will eventually become too large but I really like the look of the leaves and this year it did well in the pond.
