A tabletop, cabinetry, light, and coat rack combine to create a perfect spot for potting and storing gardening essentials.
Some garage storage systems look hard and masculine, but a repurposed coat rack ($12.99) keeps this gardening station organized while giving the space a feminine look.

If your garage lacks natural light when the door is down, add an industrial light ($29.99) for optimum safety and productivity.

Potting soil stays nearby (but out of sight) thanks to a base cabinet ($113) that also supports the tabletop. Bulbs and seeds have a cool, dry place to camp out for winter months in the wall cabinet ($87). For extra storage, screw jar lids to the bottom of the wall cabinet -- it's an easy way to keep twist ties and other supplies contained.

A tabletop ($45) built into the corner gives the gardener of the house plenty of room to pot small plants and do prep work out of the elements.

Keep the tabletop clear of dirt and gardening scraps by cutting a hole one end of the tabletop. A trash can placed below catches waste and makes clean-up a breeze.
