Here are some great Potting bench plans. The potting bench is also referred to as a potters bench, garden bench, or gardeners bench. These plans are simple and you will end up with a very solid potting bench when you have completed your project.

This bench is also great since it can double as a portable serving cart for those outdoor parties. This is a very versatile bench that should be perfect for my wife’s mother’s day project. How about yours?

Cedar Potting Bench Plans

The following plan is for a potting bench that calls for cedar wood. Cedar is terrific since it is naturally resistant to the elements. It isn’t going to hold up like a pressure treated wood, but western red cedar doesn’t have all of the chemicals associated with that product. When shopping for cedar, you will probably have to call a building supply company. I prefer to use 5/4 radius edge decking for my outdoor cedar projects. It is sturdy and abundant.

On to the garden potting bench. Notice the nice design on this unit. It has a grate that acts like a flat surface and will also allow your material to be brushed through. A nice concept.

Beautiful and Functional Garden Bench

Here is a garden bench plan from The Progressive Farmer (John Deere Company). The woodworking plan is a simple one and has some terrific features. In fact, you could almost call this plan a “Green” one because it is essentially a framework design. The potting bench has three drawers that are simply a plastic container hanging from slides. Ideal to swap out as needed.
