Introduction

Get your garden growing with this DIY gardening bench that's perfect for potting plants and more.

A sturdy bench for potting plants and other garden chores is a necessity when you get into serious gardening.

I designed this bench using cedar 2x4s and deck boards. All you need to do is cut the parts to length and assemble, so your bench can be ready for use in just a few hours.

If you want to save a little money, use pressure-treated lumber instead of cedar boards.
