Providing seating in the garden allows you to encourage yourself and others to linger and enjoy the garden views.

“Sitting in your garden is a feat to be worked at with unflagging determination and single-mindedness – for what gardener worth his salt sits down.  I am deeply committed to sitting in the garden.” 
–  Mirabel Osler

“For the time being, well past noon, God, I ask that you above all leave me alone, that I might just sit here in the leaf shade, beside this wall with its swallow-thrown shadows and the easy, unmended thoughts time affords me: these solid forms of pots, flush with zinnias, and the sun patch fading          where the grass snake glides unknotted…a hallow tree…the beginning of dusk”

–  Michael McClintock, Afternoon Garden
