If you backyard is a small one, and there is not too much space available for fitting both planters and bench, then a planter bench is the right solution for you. You can buy some such bench, or if you want to save some money, you can also try to make some on your own.
And trust us, there is nothing difficult in making some such planter bench. You can use different types of wood for the bench and can either make it with only one planter box or maybe with one on each side of the bench. Fill it with the plants you love and turn your backyard into a wonderful place.
