A Teacher's Dream Garden Shed

A 35 year career 2nd grade teacher, Barb Kingery from Illinois designed her dream potting shed herself. The potting shed design is an adaptation of plans that were in the 2005 July/August Handyman magazine. Barb purchased the red door at an antique store, and the builder turned it into a Dutch door as well as building the carriage doors. Every item including the brass and crystal chandelier was bought at

  Hi Janice, Read the complete article on www. gagasgarden.com the plans are in 2005 July/Aug Handyman Magazine. Barb changed the plans and added the doors and bought the chandelier at an estate sale out in the country where we live. Hope this helps. Susan Fox Twitter @gagasgarden Instagram @gagasgarden
