Raised bed gardens are popular for a number of reasons. They can be built to a slightly higher height for those who have trouble working in a garden with all the bending involved. They can have the advantages of intensive gardening techniques like square foot gardening, which will typically produce more crops in a given space than traditional vegetable gardening in rows. One of the easiest ways to make to get started with raised bed gardening is with a raised bed garden kit. Here’s a look at a few of these raised garden kits.

One of the more popular styles of raised bed gardens are cedar raised bed kits. Cedar is a good choice for outdoor use because it will withstand the elements even in a natural unfinished state, and cedar is famous for its ability to stand up to insect infestations. It’s usually made from knotty cuts of wood that give cedar its characteristic look, and is incredibly flexible in the types of kits that are made. They can be in a variety of sizes, and come with extra trim options like finials.

Cedar raised beds also come in a few options like tiered planters, where the beds are on differing heights. And some are like workstations, where the garden is elevated and there’s a storage shelf undernearth.

For those looking to save money on a raised garden, there are a number of plastic raised garden kits. These come in many colors and sizes, and many use recycled plastic.

Finally, if you want to use your own lumber but still want to save some time and effort, you can buy just the raised bed corners. That way all you have to do is to cut the lumber and maybe drill some holes. These prefab corners also allow you to use more than one section of lumber to extend the height of the bed if you want.
