Welcome to Craft Blog Grow, a blog about all things craft, handmade and homegrown. I'm a keen gardener trying to build up a directory of all the plants in my garden and I'm (very slowly) restoring a 100ft long peach house built in 1922 so look out for progress on that!

Natural Stone Garden Seating Ideas

Natural stone garden seating ideas Adding natural stone seating to your garden can look wonderful and keep your garden space looking beautifully natural. The beauty of stone is that it will never rot, you just need to manage the moss and the foliage surrounding it. You can update it in the summer with new cushion covers and in the winter it will go back to being a part of the environment, the more subtle the better in my opinion.

In my mother's garden, we had a huge bench made from a big slab of rock which has over the years been covered by foliage then uncovered on a cyclical basis.

Anemone hupehensis 'Hadspen Abundance' - Pink Japanese Anemone

Anemone hupehensis 'Hadspen Abundance' - Pink Japanese Anemone As you can see from the picture above, this pretty flower looks good in bud, in flower and the seed head looks great too and the best thing is that it flowers from August through to late Autumn. It's a very welcome sight when you're feeling a little depressed about the end of summer and also looks great in flower arrangements. It comes from the family Ranunculaceae (aka the buttercup family)

The variety of Japanese Anemone I have in my garden is 'Hadspen Abundance', pretty pink flowers, with some petals darker than others. It's hard to take a bad photograph of these stunning flowers.

They actually come from China not Japan!

"Robert Fortune (1812-1880) introduced it into Europe in 1844, having apparently discovered it running between the tombstones in a Shanghai graveyard. It was one of several long-lived, ethereal plants used to commemorate the dead" - Telegraph Gardening
