Planter benches are a great cross between practical garden furniture and containers for your flowering plants, shrubs or even small trees. They offer a focal point in your garden and help break up your landscaping in interesting ways. This allows you to create definition in your yard and elevate your flower plantings from traditional ground-level flower beds. Tuck one in the corner of your garden to get away from all distractions, or place it in the center of your lawn as a showpiece.

Designer Advice:
This garden planter bench is manufactured according to both quality and environmental government standards and is suitable for indoor and outdoor use. Continuous exposure to the sun can cause burning injuries when the skin comes into direct contact with the planter. Keep the planter away from excessive heat sources and on a flat surface. Clean with a pressure washer and the occasional domestic degreasing cleaner.
Bench planter with trellis
East Urban Home
Made from solid acacia wood and finished with natural oil, this garden planter bench requires assembly. A 6’ by 6’ trellis attaches to the back of the two planter boxes and is sturdily constructed. The wood is durable, easy to maintain and weather resistant.
Designer Advice:
The two planter boxes do not come with planter inserts, which will be needed in order to keep the soil from falling through the slats. Adding weight to the bottom of your planter inserts will help keep the trellis upright. If you can’t add weight to the planter boxes, make sure to place the planter bench in a sheltered area.

At 37” long, half of the planter holds plants or a tree, while the other half is perfect for perching on or holding extra potted plants and flowers.
