Build It Yourself: Potting Bench

If you're an avid gardener, you know how tough gardening can be on your back and your knees. If a potting bench isn't already part of your outdoor furniture, take a look at these plans for some designs that will keep you busy for a weekend or two. This plan is a little more involved and serves as a cold frame, a propagating shed and as a raised planter, while this potting bench isn't as complex.

This website has a longer list of a variety of potting bench plans. If you can't find one you're willing to build yourself, check out these two ready-made benches.

That looks really nice. I would have never guessed something like that was made, and not bought. I’ve never been much of a builder myself, but I’m sure with the help of my boyfriend, we could figure it out. Thanks for the info! :)
