How to Reorganize Your Shed & Revitalize Your Garden with Cas Aarssen
Every budding gardener sets out to organize their gear with the best of intentions—but before you know it, all your essential tools and accessories are scattered to the wind like dandelion spores. Join ClutterBug’s Cas Aarssen as she shares her top tips to get your shed in shape and your gardening supplies organized once and for all.
Start with a Blank Slate
The secret to growing the garden of your dreams? It’s not about having more space—it’s about making the space you have work for you. Storage sheds come in all shapes and sizes, but the real challenge comes once you step inside. How can you make sure not an inch of available space goes to waste? How do you keep your tools organized but still have them ready at a moment’s notice when inspiration strikes? The first step on the path to organizational enlightenment is to start fresh! Begin by taking everything out of your shed and take a moment to really take stock of the space.
A-Z Accessories
Let the image of the empty walls sink in for a second. Your greatest organizational opportunities lie in making full use of this vertical space. Fortunately, Suncast sheds are specially designed to make accessorizing easy. Seriously, there’s an accessory for just about anything you might need to store! From sturdy shelves and subtle lofts to tool hangers, accessory baskets, and beyond, the possibilities are endless and completely customizable so you can create a personalized solution to meet the needs of your space and your family.
Tool hangers are particularly helpful because they enable you to move larger items like rakes or shovels off of the ground, freeing up valuable floor space. They’re also great for wrangling extension cords and keeping hoses neatly wound when not in use. Don’t sleep on a versatile accessory basket either—these are perfect for keeping everyday essentials at eye level so you never lose sight of the things you use the most. Last but not least, consider adding a shelf system with hooks to squeeze even more storage onto every useable surface.
From Plotting to Potting
Once your walls are doing the heavy lifting for you, consider using the space you’ve saved to create a dedicated interior potting station. Indulge your inner green thumb by adding a workbench or tabletop surface where you can comfortably repot vegetables and start seedlings. Keep essential supplies like soil, pots, gloves, and trowels within arm’s reach to make your gardening tasks more efficient and enjoyable. When done right, your shed will become your new backyard BFF!
More Room for Living
Of course, the number one reason to reorganize your shed is so you can spend less time playing hide and seek with your spade and more time out in the garden doing what you love! Don’t forget to take a moment to enjoy a well-deserved break when the organizing is done. You’ve earned it!
