More often potting benches are made of wood. Different kinds of wood can be used for preparing them. The type of wood used also varies with the garden color and look. A white cedar can give a frosty look while a red cedar can give a warmer look to your garden. If desired, you can even paint the wooden potting benches.

Consider your purpose and desire when choosing the potting bench and add beauty to your garden.
