The Gardenista 100: Best Mini Potting Tables

We can’t help admiring how Scandinavian gardeners have it all figured out. No matter how small their living space or how short their growing season, they make room for gardening (indoors or out).

Inspired by tiny Scandi-style potting benches,  we’ve rounded up our favorite mini potting tables to tuck into a corner. We’ll also be including one in our forthcoming Gardenista Book (to be published in October) in  the Gardenista 100, a list of our favorite design classics. (Can you guess which one?)

Above: A 22-inch-wide painted pinewood Planting Table with a water-resistant galvanized metal tabletop is 1,995 SEK ($225 US) from Garden Home. For US shoppers, it’s also available from All Modern, where the Small Zinc Work Bench is $147.99.

Above: A Larch Wood Gardener’s Table has a three-sided steel work surface and a second storage shelf with drainage holes. Measuring 35.5 inches wide and under 18 inches deep, it “will fit easily onto all but the smallest balconies.” It’s from €359 from Manufactum.
