To
understand the beauty of a potting bench, you must have experienced
its opposite. Hunching over planter pots in blazing sun in contorted
positions really isn’t comfortable. To be able to use a potting
bench in the same way you use a counter top is a great relief for
gardener’s weary backs.
A potting bench is usually made of a flat service such as wood slats
with another row of slats providing a back to this counter style bench.
Most master gardeners have a potting bench from where they will plant
tiny seeds to watch them grow into small plants – until they
are sturdy enough to go in the garden.
These benches are also great options for arranging flowers, snipping
fresh herbs and organizing small plants to transfer to a garden.
