DIY Potting Table and Benches

Are you on or a follower of HOMETALK yet??

It is a wonderful resource for all things related to your home. You can ask for expert advise, find great tips for projects you might be doing, look up wonderful garden and home ideas and post projects of your own.

I was honored to be asked to create a clip board of my favorite potting tables and benches.

I'm so exciting to share them with you today.

They are all very unique and creative in their own way.

Many were made from scrap wood and pallets which is a great way to recycle and use free wood.

JUST BUILD IT!!

A few were created by turning another piece of furniture into a great potting table.

Burlap Container Gardens

This is a quick post for a quick and easy project.

Recently I was in Lowe's for a few flowers ( before Mike brought home his truck load ) and found a roll of burlap in the clearance section. 

I have had several metal buffet pan holders hanging around and thought they would make 

great container gardens.

After painting several sign boards it was time to put it all together.

I started by wrapping the whole piece with the burlap. Then I attached two boards to each side

with screws to hold the burlap in place and fill in the space.

For the sides I cut the burlap in half down the middle and wrapped around the

bottom and sides.

Then I pulled the pieces thru the handles and tied in a knot. 

Once all was wrapped I filled the bottom with Sphagnum Moss to help hold in the 

potting soil and help with drainage.

Then just filled with flowers and some herbs.

Here they are along with the car rim planters.

I also completed another potting bench for last weekend.

It was the perfect place to display the burlap gardens.

To see more pictures of the potting bench head

over to my face book album.
