A Chelsea Bench

The Key, a garden at Chelsea Flower Show, was designed by Paul Stone. Homeless people and prisoners from all around the country grew the 10,000 plants for this garden. I don't know who made the bench!

This is how the 'bench in the making' turned out. As you see it is an oak leaf. We found it again - they moved it from its place of construction. And we discovered that it has a plaque embedded in the 'stalk'.


It is sad to reflect on how young this person was when he died, but he must have had many good friends who have commemorated his short life with this beautiful bench with its spectacular view.
