Is a stylish potting bench a luxury or a necessity? We think both. It’s a way to avoid an aching back from squatting to pot plants, a means to contain gardening mess, and a provider of outdoor storage. And a flat-top potting bench can serve double duty as an outdoor drinks station come summer. We’ve rounded up 10 of our favorites:
