This project combines the goodness of bench seating, planters, and a trellis all in one!
Adults and children appreciate having plenty of seating areas in and near their playspace. Benches encourage adult supervision when placed in close proximity to the playground equipment. Seating also encourages a sense of community by creating a designated area for neighbors to gather together, much like a “town square."
The planters provide a unique opportunity for children to tend to a plant and watch it grow! A trellis is an important feature of a garden, allowing for the growth of plants that need support, such as vines and roses. So, while aesthetically pleasing in its own right, it also serves as a structural piece which allows the garden to reach a variety of heights.
