As summer comes to a close and fall heads this way, its time to start thinking about what plants to put in your garden for next year.

Are you going to change things up and try something new? Are you going to get creative with your arrangement and spell out “Hi Mom?” These questions, and surely some more, are probably going through your thoughts as planting season is around the corner.

But while your mind is scattered over the “what,” let’s draw your attention to the “how.”

Winter months can be harmful on plants and soil, so in order to keep what you’ve put in the ground healthy enough to sprout out of the ground, a raised garden bed may be in your future. 

With a raised garden bed you can section off a part of your yard to ensure the best possible place to grow plants. By elevating your garden, not only will you be enjoying an easier gardening experience, you’ll be providing a more secure environment for you plants, vegetables, and flowers, from unwanted pests, bacteria, and molds.

Another advantage from a raised garden bed is water conservation. Because the soil is lifted off the ground, and much less compact, moisture drains quicker allowing the ground, or in this case the soil in the bed, to stay warmer after wintry seasons. This better control over water, allows the gardener to better conserve how much water is being used.
