With summer around the corner, our gardens are officially in full swing. From planting bulbs to picking out new pots and planters, nothing in our gardens is safe come spring. But while our gardens might be spiffying up rapidly, our garden workspace is most likely in complete disarray, with pots and tools everywhere. The good news: a potting bench is the perfect spot to corral your mess of tools and supplies into a convenient workstation that you'll use time and time again.
What makes a potting bench perfect depends on your individual needs. Benches can range from a freestanding table with a work surface to a unit that includes shelving, drawers, cabinets, a removable sink or bucket hole, and much more. And there's no need to dish out your whole gardening budget on a new potting bench. We've rounded up options that are under $100, including one under $75. But, if you want to splurge on a piece that you'll keep for years to come, we also found a handful of gorgeous and durable potting benches. The best part? So many of these potting benches can play double duty as a piece of porch décor or even an outdoor bar cart for parties.
Looking to add a few more features to your dream garden this year? We suggest looking into a raised garden bed, too. Keep those critters away from the plants you worked so hard to cultivate.
Reviewers rave about this bench's sturdiness, value, and practical size. It doesn't have all the fixings, but it's a great starter piece for the gardener who just needs a spot to assemble their container plants.
Storage, shelves, and a removable sink, all at a reasonable price! We love that the cabinet includes a locking latch that's perfect for keeping critters out.
The scalloped edges of this potting bench might just be the most precious thing we've seen. It comes in five color options: grey wash, green wash, red wash, cedar stain (shown), and unstained.
This stylish potting bench can easily double as a drinks station at your next porch party.
This cool little station might not technically be a potting bench, but it's got some pretty cool features, like a running sink thanks to the hose hook up. It's perfect if you lack the space for a real potting bench but still want the functionality.
We love the lattice design on this stylish and functional piece—and your flowering vines will, too! It comes in both natural (shown) and gray.
You're a natural in the garden—and so is this solid-wood potting bench, which blends in with any type of décor. The built-in bucket hole, which accommodates a standard 5-gallon bucket, comes with a cover that sits flush with the surface.
This work station packs a punch in terms of shelving but won't break the bank. You'll never have to worry about space to house your ever-growing pot and planter collection again. And don't miss the handy hooks along the side to corral all your tools!
Add some charm to your outdoor space with this vintage-looking number. The gridded back is the perfect spot for hanging all your tools and other necessities. It also includes a soil reservoir.
Stash unsightly supplies in the cabinet while keeping favorite jars and planters on display.
A small bucket in the center holds dirt, while the sides slide neatly open so you can work with a minimum of fuss. Bonus: You can lock the wheels in place for a steady surface. This potting bench manages to check almost all our boxes all while coming in at under $200, making it a huge win in our books.
Featuring heavy-duty casters, a weatherproof zinc top, a towel rack and hooks—not to mention loads of rustic country charm—this sturdy redwood unit is worth the splurge. Bonus: It's handmade in the U.S.A.
Highly crafted Amish design ensures this solidly built cypress table will last. We love the built-in screen in the top that allows you to easily corral spilled dirt into the removable bin below. Handmade in the U.S.A.
