potting sheds

Gardeners' planting stations

A potting shed is a small outbuilding where gardeners do messy work—repotting plants, starting seeds, storing tools and soil.

It serves as a workspace sheltered from weather but separate from the main house: She spent the morning in the potting shed, transplanting seedlings.

The term evokes a particular vision of British domestic gardening.
