Potting Bench Make-Over

As all of you gardeners well know, every gardener needs a potting bench, a place to gather all the necessary gardening tools and such.

Once upon a time, this was David's work bench which he no longer used because he got a new much nicer work bench.

He had made this one many years ago and it had sentimental value because while he was building it, Jeremy helped by hammering nails into it and it brings him good memories. David is sentimental that way... one of many reasons that make him the special man that he is. So he passed his work bench on to me to use as a potting bench.  And I made it my own...

I filled it up pretty quick

and I outgrew it really quick.

Then Sam's Club (I love Sam's Club) had a potting bench which I could not pass up. I wish I had taken a picture of it in it's natural wood color but I didn't.

I painted it and made it my own...

Now I have two potting benches

for all my necessary gardening equipment.

But wait...there's more.

I didn't have shade.
I would move a little beach umbrella here and there
and I wasn't crazy about the rock underneath.

I happened to come across a "grill gazebo" at Sam's Club (I love Sam's Club) which I really liked but we didn't need a grill gazebo. What we did need was a potting gazebo... so it was time for a make-over. 

We moved the kid's play house, the not-so-light fountain, and the sitting area stuff. This is all across my garden area. We moved both potting benches and all my necessary garden equipment. We had all the rock removed.

 and pretty new pavers installed...

and w.a.l.a.h

I have a potting gazebo

with lots of shelves

 for all my necessary garden equipment

and all kinds of hooks for hanging stuff

 the playhouse and fountain are back in place

a nice place to sit and watch the grandkids play

 and my happy gardening space!
