A Raised Garden at The Estate

Greenland Gardener Raised Bed at our Vermont Estate

I am not much of a gardener.  I love to look at gardens and I enjoy the result of a productive garden, but I am not very good at taking care of one.   One of my favorite tools to keep things easy is to use a raised garden bed that came from Greenland Gardener. 

This is an 8 inch raised garden bed.  We have used it year after year, season after season, here in Rural Vermont.  It is top quality and is still in excellent condition. 

Some of the features of this product:

- It is stackable.

-  No tools are required for assembly.  My teenager put this together very quickly, right out of the box.

- The kit includes 4 planks and 4 brackets. 

- This will not rot, and it is weather resistant.

- It is made in the U.S.A.

- It also looks very decorative on our property.

We always plant cucumbers in our garden.  They are so productive and are easy to take care of in this enclosed space.  I also love that I can just put the garden bed anywhere on the property and have an almost instant garden. 

The above photograph was taken a few years ago.  We have not yet set it up this season, but will get it started in the next week or so. 

I was just looking at the Greenland Gardener site and saw many great ideas.  I noticed they have the most amazing thing. It is a sort of greenhouse which goes over the garden bed.  It looks wonderful and I am sure would work beautifully.
