I loved all the cute ideas. I'm with you all on the mice and snakes. We leave the door open to our garden building all the time. Less inviting to the uninvited guests. Love the old time sinks. No skirts. Love the wheelbarrow idea too. Thanks for sharing.

In reply to Pam. I have a wonderful potting shed I bought from a gentleman down the road. He was getting an ugly divorce, it was the soon to be ex's. Let's just say it was a bargain! Anyway, seed packets are the first thing the mice and chipmunks eat when they visit the shed! Grrrrr! I do encourage the snakes, yea sorry, but they eat the mice....and so do my chickens! Love my chickens! Love the beautiful ideas, thank you so much for sharing!

You've gathered up so many inspiring potting bench ideas here, Pam. I just bought my first plants last night, so I'm finally thinking spring thoughts. Thanks for sharing!

In reply to Suzanne. Exactly why my potting bench would stay on my back porch :) There's too many "friends" living in my shed for me to make it all pretty and useful!

In reply to Pam Spencer. I'm with you on the potting sheds! I have a shed that I keep shovels, extra pots and extra lawn furniture in and every year in the spring when I want something out of there I have to have my husband go get it because every year I find a SNAKE SKIN in one of my pots!!! I HATE snakes with a passion! Oh, and I think the reason we have snakes in there is because they go in there to eat the mice that come in from the farmer's fields!

In reply to Gina. You could seriously find a baker's rack at the thrift store! Great idea!

Hi
Those little sinks are called Bar sinks. In my bathroom, I used to have an old dresser as a vanity and when I had to replace the sink I was told that it was a bar sink. But anyway, I love all the ideas. I had one made about 15 years ago before I met my handy husband. Now I wish I would have put drawers in it for seed packets. I seen one on Pinterest and the drawers were open and overflowing with cascading flowers. So pretty.

In reply to Pam Spencer. This is my thought too. We have black widows and scorpions that would love to make these their own every spring and summer! Ack!!!

I love to garden and have always wanted a potting shed and YIPPY when we moved into this house I got one. From the outside its adorable but oh boy don't go in! We don't have a garage and because we get LOTS OF SNOW in the winter it is used to store everything. And as much as I would love a pottingbench I'm sure it would have everything on it but not my potting supply's.
