The first day of summer is just around the corner, and most regions are already in full-fledged gardening mode. That means it’s high time to pick your plants, sow your seeds, and—no one’s favorite task—get your garden shed in order.

But why does the garden shed have to be the bane of the backyard? This year, make your garden shed both useful and beautiful. Clear the cobwebs, shoo the spiders, and take stock of what you have. Replace dingy garden tools with sturdier ones, check your gloves and boots for comfort, and make sure every item has a designated place. We think that the more efficient your setup, the more you’ll enjoy gardening all season long.
