Potting Sink ~ Garden Feature

by Barb Rosen

My favorite garden feature hands down is the 1916 kitchen sink I made into a combination potting bench & water feature. Situated next to the garden hose and outfitted with a recirculating pump, it can be useful or a water feature.
Dressing the potting sink up for different seasons is a lot of fun. I keep my eyes open for new goodies at yard sales to dress "her" up during the summer. Even though I have made a lot of repurposed items into garden features, this potting sink is still my all-time favorite!

That drying rack is such a great way to store clay pots. I want one!

  @The Garden Frog with C Renee ~ this was such a lucky find! Ask some local plumbers & remodeling carpenters - maybe they come across them. Good Luck!

  @The Garden Frog with C Renee ~ OUCH!! Too pricey! Keep your eyes open at auctions, estate sales and ask local plumbers and home renovators too!
