Potting bench

A potting bench or planting table is a kind of workbench used for small gardening tasks such as transplanting seedlings.

Since this type of furniture is often exposed to soil, water, and sunlight, it must be made from weather-resistant materials if it is not to decay rapidly.

Some potting benches are small and portable; others are fixed into the side of a greenhouse.

Some designs include a dry sink for soil storage, a water or drain hookup, and/or a cold frame.

As they are often custom built by the gardener, styles vary greatly — and do it yourself construction plans are widely available.
