This custom-built raised bed is thoughtfully designed to protect and nurture a thriving vegetable garden, surrounded by a diverse array of herbs and native plants in the foreground. Prior to this transformation, the area featured only non-native ornamental grasses that lacked visual interest and did little to support the local ecosystem. The raised bed, with its sturdy frame of corrugated metal siding and protective fencing, ensures plant safety while remaining accessible and durable. Surrounding the raised bed, the garden includes herbs such as lavender, anise, and sage, alongside other native perennials, adding beauty, biodiversity, and functionality to the landscape. This harmonious design replaces monotony with vibrant, sustainable gardening practices, seamlessly blending edible and ornamental elements.
