Garden Table Plans + Ideas for Backyard Eating

Wouldn’t it be lovely to have a garden table in your garden?

Eat In Your Garden: Garden Table Ideas

One of my favorite garden designs always includes an eating area close to the garden.

When you have a garden bench or a garden table close to your garden you’re creating a wonderful and calming place to just ‘be’. Eating outside has many benefits like enjoying fresh air and eating around your plants. It’s also easy to harvest some fresh veggies and prepare a healthy garden salad. Grab some fresh mint for your drinks and some flowers for the table and voila! Eating in paradise.

  1. Wow, those are some beautiful looking sheds. I agree that for a great shed it costs some money, but if you’re looking for only storage then the prices are much cheaper. I prefer plastic/resin sheds because I don’t have the skills to build one myself!
