Raised garden beds, also known as above-ground gardens or planting beds, are closed containers that sit above the ground, giving you more control over soil specifications and providing a comfortable gardening experience almost anywhere. Reduce bending and tension and bring a clean, modern style to your backyard. Whether you're looking for a new way to display your blooms or planning a serious vegetable garden, here are some raised garden bed options to inspire you as you embark on your gardening adventure.
Many reputable suppliers offer a variety of loft bed options, from aluminum corner kits to entire loft bed kits made from cedar, composite wood, recycled plastic, or galvanized steel. Many people are now considering extra beds or extra beds. Check out the VegoGarden Raised Bed here for easy, no-bend gardening.
Typically, loft beds come in a variety of heights, starting with 6 inches tall. In general, the deeper the soil depth available to plants, the healthier their roots will be. Available in 17" and 32" heights, VegoGarden offers plenty of room for all of your planting work, whether you're growing a variety of fruits and vegetables or beautiful flowers. Raised garden beds also contain more soil, which helps the bed retain moisture, which means less frequent watering.
There are no criteria when choosing a garden bed as they depend on available space, personal preference, budget and overall gardening goals. We recommend metal raised garden beds, which are very popular among gardening enthusiasts due to their sturdy, rust-free materials and modern industrial design.

The benefits of self-watering raised garden beds become apparent after a hot summer drought, especially if you live in a hot climate. Innovative gardeners will love the concept of self-watering planters suitable for indoor or outdoor use. Self-watering garden beds work by capillary action that funnels water to the roots of the plants, using a tube that connects to a reservoir, allowing you to easily replenish your water source. The prefab container has an indicator to alert you when the water supply is running low.
Self-watering planters are best for apartment dwellers who only have balconies or patios. They are available both prefab and as a kit. To use, simply fill the reservoir with water and it will distribute the necessary moisture to your plants. Pictured below is the Bird's Nest at Crescent Garden, which is a great addition to the balcony.

Raised Garden Bed
Raised garden beds are deep rectangular planters supported on four legs. They are designed to keep small animals and pets from trampling on your garden. Because the height is adjustable, they are much taller than traditional garden beds, making them ideal for those with limited physical or mobility issues. Because the beds are raised from the ground, you don't have to dig deep to grow your garden. They can be placed on patios or decks to help brighten the space.
Portable Raised Garden Bed
Similar to raised garden beds, portable garden beds are mobile carts that you can roll using the included wheels. Because you can move them easily, you can rotate plants throughout the season so they get enough sunlight. Flowers and plants with shallow root systems tend to grow well in these beds because they are not as deep as traditional raised garden beds. The bed pictured includes a shelf where you can store gardening tools.
