Just don't get one of those plastic sheds no matter what. Get something
you can plant around so its presence on your property is as much a
landscaping treat as the gardens themselves, rather than a blight. If you
need only a small shed, one that looks like a rustic outhouse (or once was
an outhouse) would be fun and really good looking. For a shed a bit bigger
than that but which looks like a miniature barn, look at amish hen
houses/chicken coops, a standard product that you can get without the
nestboxes by asking. These look just so sweet in a yard, but have
house-doors on them and if you need a wider door it won't do. In that case
check out "kits" for Victorian garden sheds. Get one with a little porch
and after you garden around your shed you'll find yourself sitting on the
porch as if it's home. Place it so you can later add on a miniature "car
port" to park a mower or just to do some potting or other work on a rainy
day. The cheapest sheds tend not to have siding but if they're at least
good solid wood with attractive design, you can later add inexpensive
shingles and transform it into a worthy landscape feature.
