All gardeners, wherever they are, have some supplies and hardware that they will require to plant a beautiful and productive garden.

All these garden tools and supplies need to be organized, otherwise, you might come to a point were you feel overwhelmed at the task of finding even the simplest of garden tool, and trust me, I’ve been there!

Although all gardeners need to be organized, a lot of urban gardening adepts have a certain lack of space that makes every a inch of saving a desirable option.
I will give you some creative garden tools and supplies storage and organization ideas

The Rolling Storage

This idea is absolutely not new, but storage doesn’t have to be fixed. Actually, it might be useful to have some of your garden tools and supplies on wheel to be able to move them around. Garden storage cart already exist, but sometime, you could modify something you do not use anymore such as a kitchen island on wheel like this one or even an old wooden shelves cart.

 

Wall organization

Peg Board

Peg board is really useful to organize garden tools and supplies and pretty much anything, on a wall. Peg board are available in all size and material and can be combined to make a heaven to garden tools organizer. You can use simple hooks or use a super packaged solution that will be able to help you overcome a massive amount of garden tool and supply clutter.

Wall Rail

Another great invention that is useful to organize some clutter on the wall such as garden tools. It’s similar and different to the above peg board. This system use a type of rail on which you can attach support to organize your stuff. It is somewhat less flexible then pegboard but is useful for long items such as your trusty garden shovel or multipurpose rake.

 

Peg Rail

Simple, but efficient. The peg rail can be use to hang all kind of stuff, even some rope. If you so desire, you could also up-cycle some wood and make some yourself with the spacing between pegs that you wish. That way, you could, for instance, hang your shovel or any other garden tools.

 

 A special, but very gorgeous, version of this Peg Rail can be made by up-cycling some old piece of wood and some garden hose spigot. It will add a little something to your garden all the while helping you organize it.

 

Trellis

This is another concept that is useful and can be quite cheap because you can make it yourself. There are options that you could buy too. By making some kind of metallic or rope trellis on your wall, you could potentially attach some supplies and garden tools to it, much like the webbing on military backpack.

The Old Shelves

You have some old wooden shelves lying around?

Maybe you will be looking for one after this suggestion…

Up-cycling an old shelf is always a good idea to increase the amount of square footage where you can put your garden tools and supplies on. You could also go for a more involved project and add some parts to your shelf much like this one.

The Old Dresser

You have found an old dresser and you are unsure what to do with it?

It’s a great idea to use it to organize and store your garden tools and  supplies! There are multiple ways to “dress up” your dresser.

By removing all of the drawers and replacing them with some kind of shelves you will create a support platform to organize your garden tools and supplies.

Also, you could only remove the front of the drawer. This way, you create a form of moving shelves system that could help you retrieve your garden tools and supplies. At last, you could simply keep the drawer and use some form of drawer organization for your garden tools and some supplies.

Garden Tool Bucket Caddy

The Old Jeans

You got old jeans or any other work pants laying around your closet that you want to get rid off? You can transform them into a Garden Tool Bucket Caddy to help you organize your garden  tools and even supplies.
