I've got both indoor and outdoor gardens, and I tend to keep my gardening stuff—like extra pots, gloves, and various tools—in the garage. However, I'm struggling with how to store my ceramic and decorative pots safely so they don't break and are easily accessible. What are some effective storage solutions that others are using for their gardening supplies?

For my smaller items, I use a plastic 3-drawer cabinet where I keep gloves, small tools, and other bits like plant ties. For larger pots and bulkier supplies, I rely on wire shelving. I had a 5-tier shelf but found 3 tiers work better for my garage setup. I also keep a folding TV tray nearby for potting and maintenance tasks, which really helps me stay organized.
I got this awesome cubby from my neighbor's trash (no shame, right? 😂). It’s great for holding various dirt and soil supplies, even though the plastic bins next to it aren’t the cutest. If you ever want to buy something similar, it should be pretty cheap, too! Here’s what my shelf looks like: https://preview.redd.it/uamw01i3x2cf1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b23d594b3854390f45526e8456e554fc230a56dc.
Honestly, I’m not the best at organizing my gardening stuff. My pots are just stacked outside everywhere, and my shed is a bit of a disaster zone. I have labeled bins for smaller tools, but they’re mostly empty while the tools pile up by the door. I’ll get to it—eventually! 😂 Organizing can feel overwhelming sometimes.
