Cheers to the bed! Gardeners are at eye level with their plants when they let the green splendor thrive in a raised bed.

A look at the hardware stores proves: Raised beds are in vogue. No wonder, as the beds on the first floor offer a wealth of advantages: the main sufferer of gardening, the back, will also quickly learn to love a raised bed. Added to this is the small space requirement, which makes raised beds also suitable for terraces, and a neat look. Neo-gardeners, on the other hand, will be happy that raised beds are ahead in terms of harvest even without much care.

Raised beds can be built in a wide variety of variants: square and round, with prefabricated kits, palisades made of wood or granite or even , as in the Middle Ages, bordered with braided willow branches. A dry stone wall with nesting places for animals can also surround a raised bed~ even car tires are suitable for small raised beds~ the herb spiral is another special form. Raised beds can be found on every terrace or can be used as a design element in the garden.

In her book, Sofie Meys not only describes what is important when setting up the different types of raised beds, but also devotes herself to the topic Planting: From the vegetable and culinary herb raised bed to the Mediterranean, the wild and the perma-culture raised bed to the scented plant and children's raised bed.
