Are you thinking about building a garden, but you don’t have the time, space, or inclination to till up a patch of open ground? Maybe you’ve always wanted to grow fresh, healthy food or beautiful flowers at home, but you’ve got mobility concerns or physical limitations that won’t allow you to bend and twist in a traditional garden. Or maybe you live on a rental property where you want a garden, but it can’t be a permanent installation. No worries! You can be a gardener, and you can do it with raised beds!
Raised bed gardens are a great way to address any of these restrictions, and with the development of compact varieties of many common garden plants, you can grow almost anything you’d normally see in a traditional native soil garden. By definition, a raised bed garden is any garden that utilizes materials to create a planting space that sits above the elevation of the ground, and the only limit on what you can build is your imagination. Raised bed gardens can be built from a variety of materials, eliminate much of the guesswork of soil quality, and will provide a rewarding hobby you’ll enjoy for years to come.
