Project: Garden Workbench
Length of Competition 8 hours

Red Team's Project:

Form and function are in plentiful supply for this inspiring workbench. A large curved countertop, complete with tiled surface and sink, make gardening tasks a breeze and ensure easy clean up. A lower shelf with custom fitted bins provides ample storage for bulbs, pots and potting soil. Decorative garden accents complete a freeform backsplash and add a whimsical touch.

Final Score: 281

Blue Team's Project:
A loosely based tree theme takes shape with this garden workbench. A tiled countertop rests on a rectangular base with cabinets and a drawer. Side shelves and a tall Adirondack-style backsplash complete the design. Cabinet legs and shelf brackets are curved to resemble tree branches, and a pull-out tin lined cabinet provides convenient soil storage.

Final Score: 267
