How to Make Your Own Garden Potting Table

Are you looking for a potting table for your garden? I was looking for one because I know how helpful they are to have. It's great to have a place to just make a mess and play in some dirt. It's also a great space for spring and late-season veggies. It's also helpful when planting up your spring seedlings and cuttings.
So, when I was looking for one for my garden I found a stunner from Julia Berolzheimer who recently partnered with Pottery Barn. I was eager to click on the link and buy it for my garden. Until I saw that it was $1200....ouch.
Although I looked and looked and saw several for $500, $600, $700+, I knew I had to get the tools out and build my own. When I thought about how to build this I wanted to make something simple, similar, and affordable. That way even someone with limited knowledge on how to use tools could possibly build something like Julia Berolzheimer design. This is what I came up with....
I have included:
A cutting list
Materials list
Cost of the project
How to build the potting table step by step
The potting table is 50 inches wide and 6ft tall. I included a full cutting list and material list in the video. I also break down how much this build costs.

I learned a good lesson on this video. 1) stop saying basically 🙄🙈 2) Watch back your taped footage before going out on day two and saying basically 25 more times 😆….oh well, hope you enjoy the video ❤️

[@patriciakeats1621]

It’s ok to say basically multiple times lol.

[@Soy_Johana_Galindez]

I didn’t realize how many times you said basically until you mentioned it. With that said, it is basically okay to say basically 😂.

[@intheglenn]

@@Soy_Johana_Galindez yes like a machine gun LOL

[@loisgarrett489]

Hubby told me to find a potting TABLE I liked and he would build it. This is it!! Thanks!!

[@intheglenn]

That's great! I'm sure you will love it and use at as often as I do :0)

[@wmhfv992]

Hell yeah, man. Love the use of fence pickets, they are my favorite! I used them to build my raised beds but never thought to use them for a potting bench! Going to use your re-design for mine and add some locking casters so I can easily move it to clean behind (since I'm a bit of a sloppy gardener). That said, I do think I'm going to try to add the drawers in the original because I really like the idea of storing things like gardening gloves in a drawer so they don't get all wet and nasty. Thanks!

[@intheglenn]

That great!!! I def went for the simplest build but those modifications will def improve it. Glad you found the video helpful!!!! 😃

[@awgondzur]

Go ahead and out all of those basicallys.

[@MsCurliegirlie]

What a great video! Thank you! Blessings from Kansas!

[@intheglenn]

Wow Kansas!!! Glad the video helped you ❤️

[@LiseGray-l3c]

great video learned a lot. my wife wants a table that is more stable, the other is falling apart. So I may make this for her

[@intheglenn]

You should! It's overall a quite simple build and for the price you cant beat it. I use mine all the time and love it.....best of luck and have a great summer!

[@patriciakeats1621]

Love the colour as well!

[@patriciakeats1621]

Our beds at our cabin are this colour, essentially. My husband built them, and painted in a colour I remember from my childhood in Newfoundland.

[@deadsmooth419]

Man you did a great job...I think I'll build one soon...I think if we sand or router down the edges all around it will look much softer and cozy for the ladies

[@intheglenn]

I did sand it down and take down the corners which is a great suggestion. Glad you found the video helpful!! :0)

[@backpackingalmost5836]

this is the table. I’m going to make BASICALLY same design . I loved your video as is

[@intheglenn]

😆😆 Great! I’ve been potting seeds and plants like crazy on it this year and it’s held up great.

[@rocioolmedo5110]

Great video, easy to follow instructions, I’m taking ideas from your table. 👍

[@intheglenn]

Cool.....glad it was helpful to you!

[@anitabrock6858]

Beautiful, what color did you use to paint the potting bench? Wonderful tutorial!

[@intheglenn]

Sorry I didnt respond sooner....the color is called Sage Garden

[@kellypowers5998]

Thank you ,well done😊

[@intheglenn]

Glad you enjoyed it!!

[@FrayneColley]

Very nice simple detailed plans! Thanks!

[@intheglenn]

I was just outside potting my veggie seeds on that same potting table. It's held up very well. Best of luck and thank you for taking a second to comment with positive thoughts.

[@veronicaphillips9125]

Love your potting bench and the color. Can you share the color? Thanks so much for doing a video on how to build it. Can't wait to build my own.

[@intheglenn]

That's awesome....YES, the color is called Sage Garden.

[@veronicaphillips9125]

Thank you. 😊

[@patriciakeats1621]

I want one!

[@intheglenn]

Great! I'm sure you can build one this weekend....I use mine all the time and love having it in the garden.

[@patriciakeats1621]

@@intheglenn My husband doesn’t trust me to build because I never have and I’m generally afraid of a table saw. I’m sure I could manage a skill saw! Anyways, I have a husband, and he is going to build me one😜probably tomorrow. I even know where in my garden it will live. 😃

[@patriciakeats1621]

@@intheglenn Awesome.

[@patriciakeats1621]

@@intheglenn my husband built it today!!

[@patriciakeats1621]

I’m going to stain it tomorrow. I found some old painted weather metal that will be a perfect addition.

[@jacalli]

I like your bench way better than the examples you showed. You should be selling these!

[@intheglenn]

Thank you.....I'm glad you found the video helpful :0)

[@maliawhite1578]

I said potting bench and was corrected and told it was a potting table

[@pang-ngiavang1956]

How many times did you said basically in this video? LOL

[@intheglenn]

I know 🤣

[@patriciakeats1621]

Wasn’t the one you showed over $1900.00?
