Most gardeners or home owners have a favorite place where they enjoy sitting to delight in the view, or the antics of natures’ creatures. Mine is a path shaded by towering lilac bushes. I often found myself lingering there to enjoy the mountainous Pennsylvania view and to coax songbirds to eat from my hand.

Often when I went for a bird treat, I returned with a treat for me. Then I got the idea that the 5 gallon bucket should be replaced by a real table. But I didn’t welcome the idea of constantly cleaning bird tracks from the table. So the idea of my garden path folding table was born.

In an upcoming blog, we may provide plans for the garden tool shed in the background of the photo. But this week we’ll build the unobtrusive bench and folding table, which embrace and enhance the path of wood chips.
