A potting shed not only serves as a utilitarian space but can also double as a retreat for gardeners. Designed by Doreen Wynja and Tim Prevost, this area combines lush landscaping, inviting furnishings and a dreamy shed for total relaxation right in the backyard. Photo by Doreen Wynja.

This adorable garden shed features an eye-catching glass-walled kick out where owner Kevin Loud houses his plants in the winter and seedlings in the spring. Loud and his partner, Joe Elsasser, worked together to design and build the 91-square-foot shed that nestles in perfectly with its surroundings.

Designed by Marina Wynton and built by Jim Overstreet, this eye-catching structure has a living roof that keeps its interior cool in the summer and warm in the winter, providing natural climate control and a comfortable indoor workspace. A roof full of plants? Yes, please. Photo by Doreen Wynja.

More than just an outbuilding, this gable-roofed shed features a traditional-yet-elegant design style made adorable with the addition of blooming window boxes. These features make the structure pretty and practical all in one.
