Raised beds
Raised beds are an attractive addition to
a garden and offer practical advantages
for all gardeners.
However, as with any
permanent garden feature, it’s worth
considering a few key points when deciding
whether or not raised beds are for you.
What are the benefits of raised beds?
• If the soil in your garden is poor, raised beds allow
you to introduce an area of good quality soil where
you can grow flowers and vegetables and get
better results.
• Beds at different levels add shape, form and focus
to the garden and can make the whole design more
interesting.
You can even use higher raised beds to
partly screen items like compost bins and sheds.
• Raised beds can make gardening easier for people
with disabilities.
You can choose the height of the
bed so that it helps you garden more comfortably
standing up or sitting down.
Higher beds can also
offer support to people who have balance problems.
