When we were contacted by the Friends of Stoneham Park committee to breathe new life into a rather dilapidated planter bench in a city park, we couldn’t wait to get started. Partly because we’d not made a bench before, let alone one that could provide forage for honey bees and other pollinators. You’ll find the planter bench, sitting pretty within the park, in front of the aptly-named ‘Hive’ cafe.
