A Neat Workstation

Keep everything handy in this convenient space.

Simple garden tasks always seem to deteriorate into monumental projects that end up in the kitchen. Remedy this space invasion by having one spot for all of your equipment, a great work surface, and plenty of storage at your fingertips. Our ultimate workstation incorporates the elements we think are important and offers you plenty of opportunities to make it your own. Two versions of the plan provide added choices in budget and size. (To learn more about this project, visit southern living.com/february2008.)

The Features We Love

* Easy-to-clean work surface

* One large drawer for small tools, markers, etc. (The drawer's bottom has small slats that allow stray soil to fall through for easy maintenance.)

* A side spindle for twine

* Hooks to hang small hand tools

* Bottom shelf with ample room for plastic storage bins (Keep fertilizers and chemicals dry; lock containers to childproof.)

* An optional sliding bin for soil or trash
