There are so many wonderful vegetable garden ideas
If you want to grow a vegetable garden and add beauty to your backyard at the same time, you’ll love these ideas. Vegetable garden ideas for raised beds, urban small backyards, unique garden beds like metal and vertical gardening.
One thing to keep in mind when designing your own vegetable garden, is the type of garden beds you’d like.
Raised beds are common because they add more beauty and tend to be easier to up keep. There are many great plants to grow in raised beds, although taller crops like corn don’t do as well. I highly recommend adding flowers to your vegetable garden too. It makes it even more stunning!

Cedar raised garden bed kits from Eartheasy for easy building
If you’re renting or have a small urban garden, fabric garden beds are awesome!
When the season is done or you have to move, you can pack them up. If you get snowy or very rainy winters they’ll last longer placed in a garage over winter. These raised garden beds from Pannow are made of a proprietary fabric material. These beds are highly durable, UV resistant, with exceptional air flow. This helps the soil and root systems and allows excess moisture to easily drain away.
Wayfair offers a lot of great raised garden bed kits
I love raised beds that have double height
Although they take up more soil, they’re also taller for easier gardening and harvesting. The one below is from Mill Hollow Works.
You can use a taller planter like the great ones that VegTrug makes
They even have a kids sized one! How fun
Have deer?
Buy an 8 x 12 Prefab Garden Kit with Deer Fence! This is such a neat vegetable garden design. Deer can jump very high, but need space on the other side to land. This design that you can buy from Outdoor Living Today is fantastic!

why would you store your fabric bed and waste all that good soil?!
Hi Ciara! Great question. I meant store the whole thing (soil and all) in a garage or covered area. If it’s exposed to the elements (if you do get snow and lots of rain for example) during the off-season it won’t last as long. The water can expand when freezing potentially causing damage. I hope that answer helps!
