Garden Rooms

When gardening, you need some room to move not to mention to prune, plant, and arrange. These 8 garden rooms are hardworking spaces with lots of character and lots of room to get creative.

Potting Room Deluxe

This workroom/potting room at the rear of the garage has a narrow sink with double faucets set into a poured concrete counter , which was stained green and given a rock-face edge. A small fridge doubles as a cooler for cut flowers. Painted tongue-and-groove paneling makes the space feel fresh and tidy but also resists mildew.
