I’m totally looking for some outdoor gardening storage solution now that we’ve moved from an apartment to a house and I spent waaaay more time outside puttering around the yard and garden…bonus points if it can look good, be weather resistant, and fit in somewhere near our front door (which is also where the garden is) for added seating (ie-a bench); that’s not asking too much, is it?
During the Summer I had no problem sticking a bunch of tools in an old plant pot, and leaving my gloves on a little table, but now that the rain has come things are just getting wet and messy.
I actually like your bench Andrea, and I like Dirty Girl Gardening’s idea of hanging tools etc.

Andrea's storage is from Canadian Tire. It's the Rattan Box.

I’m lucky to actually have much more space than I need, but I’m constantly accessing and re-accessing all my crap. Do I really need this? Is a constant when I’m organizing. Hanging tools and such helps too….

That is really tough–especially when the space inside needs to be as minimalist and well-organized as the space outside! Even though we’re in a bigger space now, I still don’t have *convenient* storage close to the house and the veggie patch. We’re looking at turning the space under the back stairs (that butts onto the back deck) into a closet-like storage space. Might be an option for those in townhouses too?

I don’t even have the luxury of a storage bench. I store all my tools and things inside a closet.

So where can one purchase such a storage box. It looks very useful for apartment dwellers.

I store my indoor gardening materials in the cupboard under the kitchen sink!
