The Tree Seat
The Tree Seat is a Turf Seat that also provides shade. Some paintings show the tree clipped into three layers above head height, so it is the same shape above the person who is sitting beneath it as the topiary that you can see in our garden.
Our tree is a ‘Glastonbury Thorn’ which is said to have sprung from the staff of Joseph of Arimithea when he rested on it after climbing to the top of Wearyall Hill, overlooking Glastonbury Abbey. The tree flowers twice a year. The main flowering period is in the spring, the same as our native hawthorn, but it also flowers at Christmas time, although more usually this happens just after Christmas.
