Greenhouse Potting Bench Plans

A potting bench or gardening table is a workbench used for small gardening tasks such as transplanting seedlings and re-potting plants. A basic potting bench has a work surface at bench height comfortable for a standing person and storage for potting soil, pots and tools.

Since this type of bench is often exposed to soil, water and sunlight it should be made from weather-resistant materials or stained if it's not to rot, Cedar and Redwood are a popular choice. Plastic potting benches are cheaper and for those who can afford it there is teak. Metal construction may be considered if corrosion can be controlled.

Some potting benches are small and portable others are fixed into the side of a greenhouse. As they are often custom built by the individual gardener there is considerable variation in style. Some designs include a dry sink for soil storage and a water or drain hookup. Greenhouse Plans are available for do-it-yourself greenhouse construction.
