The Garden Bench

Before we show you more about the flowers, lets look at the garden bench.  Remember the three parts of the project?  Flowers, bees and the garden area.  The bench sits in the garden area.  Our bench came disassembled.  This was good because it allowed us to paint the slats first.


Here the slats have been primed and are waiting to be painted.

Since GCELA is a  "Kids At Hope" school (click on "Kids At Hope" to learn more), we included the kids at hope pledge in the installation.  We decided to add it to the back of the bench.  Here it is.

More about the flowers.


When the flowers were welded, they traveled to GCELA for a "fitting".  We placed the flowers, 


made a few adjustments . . .

and marked locations on the backs for aluminum bolts.  The flowers then went to the welder for the bolt welding.  And finally home to be prepared for painting.
