Big & Beautiful
We’re passionate about Vego products and this is a game-changing raised garden approach. The modular design means you can assemble your bed in a variety of ways, according to your garden size and planting needs. These eco-friendly kits are made from long-lasting materials which can withstand all kinds of weather. They are solid and stylish, with a capacity of up to 23 cubic feet, and available in a rainbow of colors.
This gorgeous galvanized planter is reassuringly resilient and eyecatching, with its Roman column-inspired design. Ideal for decks, porches, patios and balconies, its attractive rust-resistant casing can hold 7.2 cubic feet. It’s an open bottom planter, so you may want to add mesh to the base to deter burrowing rodents from making a grab for homegrown crops. We love that you can buy in multiples for stacking.
You can currently save a whopping 25% off the list price for one of these nifty galvanized raised bed and greenhouse tent combos. Available in green or clear plastic, the greenhouse kit features zipped windows so you can control ventilation. The bed can hold 18 cubic feet and is covered by a 5-year warranty. Durable, easy for beginners, and a pleasure to use – backed by Quictent’s impeccable customer service.
Compact Corners
This mini raised bed planter gets plenty of style points if you are looking to add extra plants to a patio. The long box style, which can house 2.5 cubic feet of soil, is easy to assemble and comes with a fabric liner to prevent weeds interfering with plant growth. We love the rattan design (available in gray, black or brown), giving a modern twist to a rustic favorite – suitable for a wide range of traditional and contemporary themes.
A raised bed made from fabric? You read that right – and this one from eco-friendly Back to the Roots is delightfully sturdy. It’s also portable, so you won’t be stuck trying to wheedle plants into life if you place it in a less-than-perfect spot. Just pick it up and try again. Each one holds 3 cubic feet, and internal compartments prevent root tangle. Savings may seem modest, but they add up if you buy a few, which we heartily encourage!
Neat, uniform and practical, this modern rattan raised bed design sits elegantly on any balcony or patio. The accessible modular configuration means you can adapt the shape to your garden, no matter how bijou. Another great feature is the irrigation functionality. As well as drainage, this raised bed comes with a water retention tray to help roots absorb just the right amount of fluid. The legs add to the overall appeal.
Tiers and Trellises
Being able to add extra height means you can think creatively with mixed ornamental and edibles. It’s also a fabulous way to use potentially dead space and access further light sources in a smaller garden. Available in green or brick red, this vertical raised bed gives 5 times the capacity of a typical planter. As well as being easy to assemble, the wheel design means you can easily move this raised bed inside over winter.
For the ultimate epic design extra, why not buy a raised bed that comes with its own archway? This raised bed’s graceful yet sturdy trellis is capable of supporting all manner of climbing and trailing ornamentals and edibles. You can also use the frames to support decorative lights, as well as covers to protect plants from extremes of weather. The raised bed is made of high-quality steel, and the open base prevents waterlogging.
For a compact footprint with a versatile ‘building block’ design, this raised bed kit has oodles of character. The columnar style of assembly allows you to customize the overall shape and size of the final bed, according to your project. There are two boxes included in this kit, but at this price it’s worth investing in a couple of kits so you can scale up in style. With its smart drainage grid and reinforced support rods, this raised bed kit is a brilliant way to take your home growing up a notch.
