At first I had only a few plants but since this is my bench and I look at it I figured I would go all out. This potting bench really is center stage and is in full view of the living room so I want a lot of color!
I started out with my painted shovel on the middle area..

My Ronde de Nice squash take the place of pumpkins, but the sign I painted on the top shelf was enough orange along with the orange geraniums.

I decided I liked the shovel down lower but that left an empty place that I thought needed a bit of filling. The metal bucket has a Tiger’s Eye black eyed susan in it, I like that they stay shorter and I have wanted one of these for awhile now, I found one just today!
I know this photo is a bit tilted, so sorry.

I filled the empty spot with a purple succulent type plant that a friend gave me, I am still trying to find out what it is actually called.

Here is a close up so if anybody can tell me what it is called I would really appreciate the info!
Happy Fall!
(I really am trying to get into it)

It looks great. I would love to have a potting bench to decorate (or well, pot at). I love your touches of fall and the pretty plants.
ReplyDeleteIt's LOVELY! I love how you styled your potting bench instead of a mantelpiece. It looks so stylish!
