Today's Saturday Steal is still $50/$60 depending on what size you go with, BUT investing in a garden is something that will truly pay for itself!
I purchased the 49x49 size and it arrived yesterday. We can't wait to put it together in our backyard!
It will house lots of herbs (my favorites: rosemary, basil, oregano, lavender, fennel) and some veggies. Not only will it bring out the inner-herb-nerd in me, but it is also an excellent learning tool for Camille. Learning how plants grow, how they need water and sunlight, learning how we can all be a little more self-sufficient and take special care of things. Plus, it's a great activity to get us outside daily!
You can find these cedar raised beds HERE. The image above is also clickable, which is a little easier if you're reading on a mobile device.
I would love to do this if I can talk my husband into it. He is obsessed with our grass lol so the only place I think he'd let me put it is in a flower bed (we have large ones in the back). But I wonder about setting it on top of the mulch, if there are any chemicals (we get black mulch...dye maybe?) that would soak into the vegetables? Is that a silly thing to wonder haha?
