Brick bench
Love the look of metro bricks? Take them outside with a blockwork bench and planter. Landscape gardeners recommends constructing a concrete core before cementing and grouting the bricks onto it. The Victorian Emporium’s glazed bricks are fit for purpose and come in a range of colours. Bamboo is an ideal plant for the raised bed behind the bench because it grows vertically. Take the Japanese approach of removing the bottom third of leaves.
