    Get Organized with a Gardener's Pegboard

    April 21, 2015 by Patti Estep 5 Comments

    Creating a gardener's pegboard near your potting bench is a great way to organize all your gardening and other outdoor supplies.

    Gardener's pegboard for organizing your garden tools and accessories

    On our trip to Construction Junction where I found great pieces to make a new desk for my office, I picked up a framed pegboard for $10.

    I had been thinking of making one to hang above my potting bench, and there it was, already completed. 

    I really hope I'm not alone when I say that I'm always looking around for a tool or some twine when I'm in the garden. Hopefully, this would also free up some space on my potting bench.

    Old green pegboard

    It was a little grimy so I spray painted the board with a nice herbal green and the trim in white.

    The spray paint can said it was good for both a good interior/exterior use. This should help protect the pegboard from the weather outside.

    Now it looks a little too shiny and new. So I used a little antiquing glaze to soften the overall look.

    I bought a simple bag of hooks for this project. However, I found out that all kinds of baskets and hooks of all sizes exist for pegboards.

    I think I'll definitely want to make one for my office. Lord knows I could use a little more organization for all my craft supplies.

    Giving the pegboard some patina

    Saving time being organized is a good thing but I also love to keep this space looking pretty.

    Here's the finished product all dressed up with some floral wire, plant tags, and tools. I love the way it looks. And, I'm excited to have some more storage for all my gardening and outdoor supplies.

        Hi Terri,

        You are so right. I was thinking about buying on with a gift card I got from my brother from Home Depot. I was debating on how I might frame it but then we came across one already made and it was a no brainer.
        Thanks for stopping by!

      I love seeing all your projects - this one's a winner by the way. Your bench is so full of energy and potential. Whatever will you use the grapevine thingie for?

        Hi Jackie,

        Are you referring to the grapevine ball? I use them for lots of things. Mostly to arrange flowers in. Last year I tried my hand at filling one with suet and hanging it for the birds but it was too heavy and I think a squirrel or raccoon got it. LOL

          Yes, I meant the grapevine ball - I love the idea of putting flowers in it. That would be sweet.
