This cast stone Planter on Plinths has a simple design, allowing for creativity in the plantings and greenery to catch the eye. This planter is elevated by two small plinths for added dimension.

Growing Things Statue
The Growing Things Statue is a special piece for its unique story. Robert Amendola sculpted this piece at the personal request of Mr. Kenneth Lynch in the 1920's to create the ideal garden piece. When Mr. Lynch was interviewed regarding what this figure represented to him he recited the following: "Simplicity, uncomplicated, virtuous, innocent, unworldly, unspoiled, honest, sweet, trusting, lovable, beautiful, desirable, young, feminine, daughter-like, natural, delicate." If you’re looking for a piece that encompasses all of that, here it is!

Central Park Settee
The design of the Central Park Settee is based on benches used during the creation of New York City's Central Park in 1858. This design was reintroduced in 1994 in New York City’s urban parks as well as countless other parks across the nation. The classic look of the Settee is completed with the iron parts black and the lumber painted Central Park Green, but other colors are also available. Add a sentimental plaque for a special touch.

1939 World’s Fair Bench
Another iconic bench style found across New York City’s parks and across the nation, the 1939 World’s Fair Bench. Robert Moses and Kenneth Lynch collaborated on the final design to maximize comfort leading up to the World’s Fair. This bench is also widely used in parks with landscape design plans from Fredrick Law Olmsted. This design fits beautifully in a home setting. Add an engraved plaque for the perfect final touch.
