Build a Raised Bed for a More Accessible, Productive Garden

By Alabama Living

In this new world of social distancing, many of us are finding that our personal outdoor spaces offer many opportunities for safely releasing pent-up energy and anxiety. Regardless of the size and shape of your outdoor spaces, there are ways to transform them into beautiful and productive garden sanctuaries.

You can create a garden in any sized space by using pots and other containers to grow lovely flowers, handsome shrubs and trees, nutritious and delicious fruits and vegetables and flavorful herbs. If you want to take that idea a step further, though, consider building a raised bed.

Raised beds offer us the chance to create better soil, increase plant productivity and make gardening more accessible, especially for folks with mobility issues or who have trouble bending and stooping. What’s more, the concept of a raised bed can be used in almost any situation, from a tiny apartment balcony to a large yard.
