Easy DIY Raised Flower Garden Bed Ideas

Raised beds can be as modest or creative as you like, using bricks, stones, or upcycled materials. A raised bed planter can be a temporary or permanent fixture in which plants can settle and mature.

The initial cost of setting up your raised bed depends on how elaborate you are in making it. You can make raised beds inexpensively or for free if you make raised beds from old boards or used bricks.

Once created, raised beds are no more expensive to maintain than conventional gardens.

Raised beds offer several practical benefits, including the ability to more easily control soil composition and easier access to your plants. But raised beds can be as stylish as they are functional. The only real rule of raised bed gardening is to use your imagination to create raised beds that complement your landscape. You can purchase raised bed kits that are easy to assemble or build your own raised beds that cost little money.

The above example of a raised bed or vegetable garden shows the orderly, formal design that these beds can bring to a setting. Simple wooden frames made from rot-resistant lumber ensure years of growing success. Raised beds are suitable for intensive gardening techniques such as interplanting, successional planting and square meter gardening. Keep checking out more raised bed ideas.
