Stock Piling and Garden Potting Bench

Category: Starting and Maintaining the Garden | Posted: Sun May 12, 2013 6:35 pm

Those shutters with a little paint and stockpiled lumber 'fancied up' my potting area. I am on the third and hopefully final placement for my potting bench. Since we now spend evenings and week-ends sitting out in the woodland garden I am still in the process of hiding the utility parts of a garden..The corner I chose of the back yard was pretty much unused. It can be seen from the office back door though so I wanted the mess I create to be hidden.

Of course this is probably the cleanest it will ever be. We've decided the old bench will also get a coat of paint, and I can't wait to tackle the next shutter project

Of course this will all probably lead to painting the front of the shed a matching blue...after it gets cleaned

One project just leads to another ... sigh

What a lovely shade of blue and an excellent way of hiding away parts of the garden you'd rather now see. Much better than the fence panel I got Ian to erect.

Man that is absolutely neat!

Thanks all. The color did work out well. I keep seeing it in gardens and was lucky to match it.

Eileen, the panels do work great too.

That is one very cool potting bench. I would love to have that at my house! Great job, very creative.
