Raised Garden Bed

Aesthetic appeal: Many people want to grow veggies, fruit, or herbs, but pesky homeowners’ associations and landlords frown on untidy gardens. By creating artistically designed raised bed garden spaces, unruly vegetables are contained, edible flowers and pollinator plants add beauty, and the raised bed becomes an attractive focal point in the garden.

Superior soil: Raised beds offer soil control. Whether you battle clay soil, or you’ve experienced a soil-born disease in your garden, these beds allow you to control the content and structure of the soil, ensuring a nutrient-rich environment for your plants.

Healthier harvests: With several raised beds in a kitchen garden, it’s easy to practice crop rotation. Rotating crops helps maintain soil health and thwarts pests that overwinter in the soil.

Prolific produce: You don’t need acres of land to grow lots of nutritious food. By adding vertical supports for vining crops, a raised bed maximizes growing space. Peas growing on a trellis can be under-planted with lettuce.

Water control: Raised beds allow the soil to drain well, avoiding the waterlogged challenges of many in-ground gardens. Irrigation is also less wasteful in the confined space of a raised bed.

Pest protection: While backyard wildlife habitats make a terrific garden addition, no one appreciates furry and feathered friends eating carefully tended veggies intended for dinner. Raised beds protect crops from becoming snacks for wildlife.
