Any tips for designing a garden bench area for entertaining guests?
I’ve been working on my garden as a social space, especially since I love hosting friends over for coffee! I have a charming garden bench, but I want to create an inviting area around it. My garden is filled with ornamental plants and I want to make it more functional for gatherings. I’ve tried a few seating arrangements but they always seem a bit crowded. What design tips do you have for making the space both cozy and spacious for guests? I'd love ideas to make it a go-to spot for summer get-togethers!
