Maybe you have an abundance of baskets floating around your home. Collect all of the ones in one or two colors (say, blonde and natural brown) and group them with a simple bench outdoors. You now have a rustic, well-organized potting bench with plenty of storage.
Watering cans and a place to sit and putter are useful additions to a potting bench. Note the way the color of the bench blends into the wall behind it. Also, matching baskets can serve as storage for tools, bulbs and seeds as well as functional trugs for carrying supplies out to the beds and for carrying produce and cut blooms to the house.
