A potting shed is a special shed with a purpose of its very own. It is designed for us gardeners who love to grow-your-own, nurture seedlings into plants and spend hours pottering in the shed. Perhaps they should be called pottering sheds instead?

Here we look at a few different potting shed designs that allow us pottering gardeners the best environment and storage for growing.

 

Potting Shed Designs

Potting sheds are the perfect solution to growing seedlings and plants in a garden where there isn’t space for a dedicated greenhouse. Plus, they provide ample room for all your tools, lawnmowers, bikes, outdoor games and gardening equipment. Combining the best of both worlds, your potting shed will give you plenty of space for all your storage needs and masses of growing area to raise your tender seedlings.

Don't fancy a potting shed? What about a greenhouse instead?

Oh, the beauty of a wooden greenhouse. A truly inspiring structure capable of both looking great and growing sensational plants. But is it the natural splendour of wood or the knowledge that you have a 15-year guarantee against rot that makes it the must have addition to any garden? Or perhaps it’s the smell? Freshly installed, empty of plants – close your eyes and savour the aroma. Nothing will ever beat that moment.

Not got much space? Maybe a mini greenhouse would suit?

Great to look and highly practical, a mini wooden greenhouse is perfect for raising seedlings and a tomato plant or two. Ideally placed against a warm wall, shelving can be adjusted as plants grow and the superb ventilation allows healthy growth of all our plants. They are ideal when placed up against a wall (where the heat of the wall reduces the risk of frost damage) or even a fence panel. It is an invaluable addition to your growing family.
