We are continuing to work on this extensive home renovation project in Hunterdon County, NJ. The potting shed, part of this larger project, is built into the hillside to provide space below for lawn mowers, wheel barrows, leaf blowers and the like. The bank, adjacent to the potting shed and it's storage space beneath has stone steps built into it. The remaining bank will be a rock-garden, filled with plants. A pergola and a terrace, designed to provide the perfect place to enjoy the view, will connect the home to the potting shed. Sep 05 2013

As part of a larger Additions and Renovation project, our clients have asked us to build a Potting Shed. In this, these avid gardeners can divide and re-pot plants, over-winter tender perennials and clean and store trowels, shovels and other hand tools. The windows in the cupola will allow light to fall to the interior and the other windows will frame the gorgeous views of the rolling hills of Hunterdon County.
Here’s how it looks now.
