THE RAISED BED REVEALED
Raised beds have revolutionised the way in which we garden today, but they’re not only good for growing veg!

Highlighting innovative design ideas, planting schemes and ways to create the perfect growing conditions for plants, The Raised Bed Revealed brought to life some of the ways in which gardeners can elevate their growing!
Whether its making bespoke raised structures to suit your growing needs, keeping the soil in tip top health, tailoring growing conditions to suit the plants you want to grow, or making room for wildlife, there were plenty of ideas in this Headline Showcase Garden to inspire your own designs at home.
