The Garden Bench
Here's an all-cedar garden bench with enough room to actually spread out your plants and flowers. It's 6 feet long, 2 feet wide and, for comfort, the work surface stands 38 inches off the ground. This is a bench defined by storage. Starting with the top, there are cubbyholes for smaller, not-often-used gardening supplies. Below, two pieces of pegboard are cleanly framed to stiffen the normally flimsy material. Move down a level. Three drawers hold soil, gravel or other bulk gardening materials. The bottom shelf, raised just off the floor, keeps packaged gardening supplies dry. And the round-bar decoration in the middle? Yes, you can hang things on it, but we just like how it looks.
