A garden shed with water means no more dragging hoses across the yard, and the simplest setups use a hose bib fed from the house. A full sink or a wash area is a bigger plumbing step.
The hose bib
A frost-free hose bib at the shed, fed by a buried line from the house, is the classic setup for watering and washing. freezing winters put stress on exposed lines, and many older homes still have aging galvanized pipes In Worcester, the burial depth keeps it working in winter.
The sink
A utility sink inside the shed gives a place to clean up, and it needs a supply and a drain like any sink.
The drain
The sink drain ties into the house line or a graywater setup, and a long run gets a cleanout.
The winter
The line is drained and the bib protected before a freeze, because an unheated shed cannot save the pipes.
