Picture of my Potting Shed Exhibit  This year I decided to create an old potting shed display for my plants.  The shed, formed by a fence, features an aged potting bench, rustic mirror "window," and a sign bearing the words "Potting Shed."

Me at my potting shed display at the fair.

I hope to see you at the fair! Sincerely, Krista Schrock PS - Check out HomegrownExplorers.com to find out about the 4-H club I'm in, and what it's all about!
