My bench is quite a rudimentary affair, in that it just sits on the earth. My eco-builder friends Jenny and Medhi have created many similar benches for their festival gardens, including a long turf bench shaped as a snake, with individual seats carved along the snake’s back. Using a natural material like earth is convenient if you happen to be digging a pond or a sunken area and need to do something with the earth you’ve dug from the hole. You can even buy cardboard cutouts to help you shape the earth like a grass armchair (www.purves.co.uk). There’s also a plan for a turf sofa at www.readymademag.com, an excellent American website with lots of DIY projects.
