I've been asked to add photos of my planted garden bench so I thought this would be a good place to do. I've likely posted them before but there is no way I could find them in all of my posts!
Instructions for how I made it:
Showing a little sempervivum growing in the crevice of a bark "pillow"
Lewisia, Sedum Angelina (self-planted of course) and Sedum Cape Blanco (note the self-planted clump in front of the bender board)
