My Gardening Bench

Last year I had shared with you our "move the shed" project and you caught a glimpse of my gardening bench.  
At that time I had promised to talk more about it at a later date.
Well here we are, it's later lol!

Several years ago Mr. B made me this bench with my 
explicit wants and needs in mind.
It is about 6 feet long, giving me plenty of room to set up plants for potting and transplanting.

He added this grate that I set my pots on when adding dirt.

Underneath the grate sits this lidded container.

When I am potting the plants, I just remove the lid from the plastic container, place the grate back on it and, the loose potting soil is captured and none is wasted.

I just love the two shelves above for storage as well as the taller shelf below.
Mr. B, as you know, makes some pretty good quality shelves!
I have two lidded containers below, one for potting soil 
and one for my homemade compost. 
I forgot to take a photo but, there are hooks on the right side 
that hold my smaller gardening tools. 
Mr. B really did think of everything! 
We stained it all with a sage green wood stain. 
It looks like I may need to do some touch ups this year.

I love my custom gardening bench so much! It is the perfect size lengthwise and not too tall for me.  
Come Mother's Day weekend you will find me right here, 
a happy smile on my face and up to my elbows in flowers and potting soil!
