Let the cost of the bench be $$ x $$.  
The garden table costs three times as much, so its cost is $$ 3x $$.

The total cost for both is given as  
$$
x + 3x = 600.
$$

Combine like terms:  
$$
4x = 600.
$$

Solve for $$ x $$ by dividing both sides by 4:  
$$
x = \frac{600}{4} = 150.
$$

Thus, the cost of the bench is $$ \$150 $$.
The bench costs \$150.
