The bulbs you have stored cold all winter are beginning to sprout, and it’s time to gear up for the next few seasons of gardening. If you’re serious about your gardening, you are going to require a good potting bench. Today we will take a peek at some great benches and where to place them. In our next installment, I will help you outfit your seat with all the tools you will want.
Between Naps on the Porch
I spied this seat at a show house here in Georgia, and I’ve been dreaming of it since. It has one of the handiest features possible, a footprint. This particular seat incorporates a salvaged sink.

This lovely partially covered space can convert in the utilitarian area into a beautiful place to dine al fresco. Imagine paper lanterns and white lights dangling from the roof construction while candles shine on the table.

Watering cans and somewhere to sit and chairs are helpful additions to a potting bench. Notice how the color of this seat blends into the wall . Additionally, fitting baskets may serve as storage for resources, bulbs and seeds in addition to functional trugs for carrying supplies from the beds also for carrying create and cut blooms into the home.

These functional cabinets have old-world style, and the set makes a great potting area. One includes a sink, the other has a work surface and both have hidden storage beneath. These may sit on a terrace and fit right into the sophisticated exterior areas around this home. When not in gardening manner, they may be set up as an outdoor bar.
This potting shed to a farmhouse home offers storage for larger tools and a lawn mower, even though a seat outside is covered from the roof. We are going to get to potting sheds at a future ideabook. For now, we will admire the colour given by the roof — much desired in hot central Virginia summers.

A potting bench needn’t be outdoors. Dear Daisy Cottage has left her potting area decorative in addition to functional, integrating it into her screened-in porch. Colorful paint works nicely with brightly colored baskets and a classic bucket.

A potting bench tucked inside a mudroom is also a great solution if you absence outdoor space. It’s a great place to utilize for arranging flowers too.
