Why We Use Raised Beds for Gardening
Not only are raised beds more practical, but they add another layer of beauty as you step into your kitchen garden day after day. Practically speaking, raised beds allow us to maximize our growing space, improve drainage, increase productivity, and tend our plants with greater ease.

THE PRACTICAL PURPOSE OF RAISED BEDS
Raised beds allow you to start fresh with healthy soil, rather than amending what you already have (which is probably not ideal for vegetables).
Raised beds stay warmer than the soil in the ground, which allows you to extend your growing time in the fall and the spring.
Raised beds give plants' roots more vertical space to dig down so that you can fit more plants horizontally in a tighter space.
Raised beds drain more quickly than in-ground beds.
Raised beds increase comfort and ease when tending or harvesting your garden.
THE AESTHETIC PURPOSE OF RAISED BEDS
Raised beds are a beautiful hardscaping piece in their own right, adding beauty to the garden all four seasons, even when nothing is growing.
Raised beds can make your garden feel like an outdoor room, your own private oasis.
