There’s more to your potting shed than you might think! It’s not just perfect for potting plants, tending tender shoots and assembling a garden nursery, as you’d expect; it’s got storage in spades (and for spades,) not to mention forks and trowels; and it can even double as a garden workshop! Potting sheds aren’t just functional, they’re multi functional.
Potting sheds are designed to meet the needs of professional gardeners - which is great for all of us; it doesn’t matter how green fingered we are, we still get to enjoy all the same benefits as the pro’s. Benefits like sturdy slatted work benches; big sloping windows and optional stable doors. And then there’s all the additional features; features like glazed windows, choice of cladding, choice of door; heck you can even decide where you want to put the door!
Your choice of potting shed will of course depend on your particular requirements. But whether you’re serious about your seedlings, or just dabbling, your potting shed will be a practical addition to the garden that will endure; even if your dabbling doesn’t. Potting sheds come in all sorts of ample sizes – typically ranging from 5’ x 7’ upto a particularly spacious 10’ x 14’. But it doesn’t stop there. Larger sized sheds are available to accommodate two of every plant, and a whole lot more besides – just in case it ever looks like raining for forty days or so!
Even when it seems like it’s stacked to the brim with tender young plants, your potting shed still has plenty of potential. You’ll have shelf space, below-shelf space and wall space to fill. Thick timber walls and floors mean that you can hang up tools, bikes, trikes and toys without a second thought. Told you they were multi functional!
And, because they’re just so light and airy, you might want to do a whole lot more with your potting shed. All that natural light means they’re ideal for detailed work of any kind. You can use your potting shed as a workshop, studio or writer’s retreat; your very own garden get-a-way the weather won’t spoil. Opening windows are fitted to some potting sheds as standard, just to make sure it will double as a comfortable work space, whatever the work, and whatever the weather.
They’re decorative too. Even ornate. Elegant glass potting sheds, in an Edwardian style, can make a feature out of functionality. Brass door, features and trims will add lustre to any garden. But you don’t have to live in a glass house to appreciate the finer features of the potting shed. Even the more conventional wooden structures are all beautifully designed and built – and they’re very easy to maintain. The natural timbers of your wooden potting shed will ‘melt’ seamlessly into your garden, while the big expanse of windows will create even more light and a sense of space in any size garden.
So, whether you’re a committed gardener or a keen amateur, a potting shed will give you the edge over the elements! Part nursery, part workshop, part storage facility par excellence: the potting shed – more than meets the eye!
