We love this time of year! Time to pull the tools out of the garage, enjoy some of that nicer weather and get building on some fun outdoor projects!
Whether you are a gardener or not, a potting bench can be a wonderful addition to an outdoor space. Use it to pot plants OR use it for extra storage and surface for entertaining. A great place for food and drinks when not being used for planting!
These plans are all beginner friendly and can be built in an afternoon!
Please share if you build and be sure to tag #anawhite
1. Farmhouse Potting Bench
This farmhouse style potting bench features a slatted bottom shelf, upper shelf with hook bar, and X detailing on the ends. Simple construction uses basic tools and off the shelf materials. This super versatile plan has been used as a drink station and even a workbench when not being used as a planter!
2. Simple Potting Bench
If you are looking for a simple and quick build this is a great plan. We like how easy it is to modify for your specific needs. The added hutch is great for adding hooks and also gives an additional small shelf for small plants or planting utensils. The large bottom shelf is great for extra potting soil and storage!
3. Simple 2x4 Potting Bench
I wanted to create new potting bench plans that are still super simple to make, but this time, I wanted to integrate more storage on the hutch and back. So I teamed up with my friends at Ryobi to create these plans for you!
One of the things I love the most about this potting bench is the back is like a pegboard! You can use any "over-the-cabinet" accessories to customize your hutch for your needs.
You'll also love how quick and easy it was to build this potting bench!

Build a collapsible potting table or BBQ area to provide an extra outdoor surface that can be stored away in the off season. This is perfect for outdoor spaces or a table that needs to be easily portable! This build is by Lady Goats!
5. Potting Table
Another great beginner project! What we love about this potting table is that is can double as a drink station or grill cart when not used for potting!
