Gardening With a Raised Garden Bed
Get into the swing of spring with a raised garden bed that's made just for patio living or loft lifestyles with sunny windows and big balconies. While the traditional garden bed may be at soil level, these gorgeous constructions are designed to adorn your outdoor space with fine fixtures that act as planters, only oversized to compete with any small garden patch. Check out different silhouettes and finishes to complement any corner, entrance, walkway or deck expanse. Once you find the one that's made for your home, you can fill it with potting soil and other amendments and then start planting or seeding, depending on your outdoor interests. Discover how a modern raised garden bed can transform your exterior space.
How to Use a Raised Garden Bed
The raised garden beds available at Williams Sonoma right now are made for your ease, comfort, convenience and enjoyment. Use them as you would an extra-large planter or regular garden bed in some ways, but let them take on the role of exterior decor at the same time.
- Choose a place for your garden bed. You might like it against an outside wall or by a door. Some other nice ideas might include setting two of the same kind back to back for an even more dramatic look.
- Fill the beds with liners as needed. The liners prevent soil from dripping through when you water or when it rains.
- Once the beds are lined as you see fit, fill them with soil, potting material, coir or other organic substance to create the base of the bed. Then, you can plant flowers or greenery or seeds that will sprout.
- Water the bed regularly with a beautifully mounted hose or watering can when you shop garden tools to coordinate with your planter.
Discovering New Ways to Garden
With plants trending as indoor and outdoor decor, gardening is experiencing a resurgence in popularity. Use plants and planters as a way of filling in deck or patio space by an outdoor dining table and chairs or a patio scene of chaise lounges with an outdoor side table.
The same way that you enjoy tending to potted plants, you can tend to fuller garden beds when you select a raised garden bed with a high-end design. Spend more time outdoors and develop a new hobby or expand your outdoor entertaining space when you bring home one of these beautiful beds today.
