My raised beds are no where near this fancy, but it is quite functional. On a SS budget, I used what I could get mostly for free. I have used several large mineral tubs given to me by a local farmer, wood that I picked up from construction sites also given to me. As I get things done I paint the containers so it does look more consistent. I love it and it is such a functional space.☺
I consider my current house a temporary home... so I am cautious with my budget, while things may not be exactly the same or as fancy as some of these as I go I paint to keep things appearing more consistent.
It's so great to hear people reusing materials to make things on a budget that bring them joy!! The majority of the people in the world can't afford super deluxe, but these bring ideas and inspiration to create with what you have got! 😍⚘️🌱🏵
I totally get it. My budget is definitely not high end, but I learned, like you, to use what you have! I also try to teach by example for my daycare kiddos (and their families) how to grow their food on limited incomes and help the Earth.
I would have to hire someone to build my raise beds which will never happen.
@@lynnschantz9185 There are kits available is what I did that require no skill or super strength to assemble!
I love this entire series, seeing other Garden Answers fan’s gardening Spaces is wonderful and has brought me a sense of community. I feel like I’ve definitely found “my people”.
I totally agree. Even perusing TH-cam and even my own neighborhood, it feels like there are only a few of us. Looking at this video, really makes it feel like a much bigger community. 🤗
That is so sweet! I totally agree- what a wonderful community of very talented gardeners 🌱💚🌿
I agree! It’s awesome to see so many examples from all over the country and even the world.
Agreed!
Now I have no excuse not to make a raised bed garden a reality! Very inspiring! 😍
I loved seeing what other people did for their raised bed gardens! My husband and I built a 30x30 fenced in raised garden in 2020 and I am still making little adjustments every year. I am hoping this year will be our best year yet!
Thank you so much for including our garden submission Laura! Everything we know about gardening, we’ve learned from watching your videos. So great to see all the other raised bed ideas - I’m feeling so inspired!!
Your garden is amazing! Thanks for sharing and congrats on being featured!
Amazing!
So happy to see my fellow Ohioans represented!! As a 26 yo gardener it’s easy to wish we lived somewhere with a longer growing season and shorter winters. This video (and many others of yours over the years) has inspired me to re design not only my beds, but my parent’s and brother’s as well! Gotta get the entire family in shape so I have gardens all over north east Ohio to enjoy this summer. 💚
I'm happy to actually see a northern gardener from my zone actually featured in a TH-cam video - the very first person featured is from my garden zone (3b) and we are SO badly under-represented in the YT garden community it's like we don't exist lol
It would be great to see how people have designated areas to compost, along with a garden shed one(also looking for ideas). Thank you for all the great videos, from zone 4-6a Canada.
That's kinda like what I sent in for the BEFORE/AFTER videos, but they didn't make the cut.😔 They were from my evolved garden on a budget and showed how I incorporated an old lean-to shed that came with our property, a planned out compost area, a diy fountain that I made from Dollar Tree items and space for a future recycled window greenhouse. I really wanted to show that even those on a tight budget can still make an enjoyable and productive space. Feel free to message me if you want me to send you the pictures and some planning tips.
Yes!! I want to see composting options.
Ha ha ha. I have an old Chevy pickup bed on the ground near my “ far” garden with mostly a raspberry forest and some young apple and apricot trees but also 12 rows of dirt to plant up.
@@mindbodysoil66 did you make videos? If you em, I'll watch
@@mssumerloving I have some random videos on my channel. I need to go see if the garden ones are private, if so I will set them to public.
Laura I got my Hoselink in the mail yesterday. After watching your channel and researching for years I finally got one. I had a bit of buyers remorse due to the expense but after hearing how much you love yours (again) I have decided to keep it. Thank you to you and your family for encouraging us all to try new things. I watch you every morning with coffee and my 3 dogs and it is what I look forward to everyday.
You won't regret it once you install/use them! I ended up buying 2 (front yard and back yard) and while a hassle to install into our Stucco house they are worth it EVERYTIME I use them and just "pull and walk" to put them away - definitely worth the investment!
@@spin6719 Thank you for your encouragement. I'll look forward to watering now. I purchased the 82 foot. .
I DREAM of a Hoselink! :)
Oh yes they are the best, we’ve replaced ours too. My husband gifted some to his grandmother and she’s in love with the concept and ease of use.
@@alejandramichelli5583 how long did yours last? I need it to last awhile so I can maybe get another
Zone 3a here. Some years spring starts in April, but most years it's May and sometimes we don't thaw until June. In recent years you wanna wrap up your grows in October here, watching the forecast obviously. Starting seeds indoors here is a MUST for most things to have an ensured quality harvest.
I agree 👍
Lots of hard fast work to squeeze it all in.
Hi from Australia 🇦🇺.
These raised beds were all awesome to see. I throughly enjoyed it so much. Thank you all for your generosity in sharing.😍😍
Loved seeing how everyone comes up with so many different designs. They were all amazing.
This gave me such valuable information, we are planning our raised bed garden, and yes its worth it to make them tall from the beginning...I'm now retired and two knee replacements, and those low beds are a challenge sometimes.
I made mine last year and I’ll never regret making them taller. I added a 1x6 trim on top and it’s perfect for sitting and taking a break.
Thank you so much to everyone who sent in pictures. I have discovered that I don’t take many pictures. That is my goal this year.
Laura, what a fun video! I get loads of inspiration seeing how other folks plan out their gardens, especially the different raised bed styles. I definitely need to elevate my garden beds to make them more accessible and pleasant to work in. Bless everyone who shared their wonderful garden photos. I positively love it! I hope that everyone has a wonderful weekend! ~Margie
I’m in Saskatchewan and annuals start showing up in stores around May 1st but we’re better off waiting until about 3 weeks into May before planting them. The cold would take them sometime in October. Summer is precious to us here being so short!
Y'all must be made out of sterner stuff than me. Told my husband i would never live any farther north than North Carolina.
I’m in Manitoba and I don’t put out annuals until June now. We’ve had frost in the first week of June the past 3 years. So true about summer.
Northern BC zone 3 and we don’t plant until after May long and even then some years it’s a gamble 🤪 -50 or colder with wind chill for at least one week of the winter too
Every year I say I’m going to wait but the spring excitement gets the best of me and I’m out there covering everything up because of risk of frost! It’s all part of the season I guess🤷🏻♀️
I am in Saskatoon. I am impatient and plant the non cold hardy annuals on May long weekend and keep from frost blankets on hand. 🙂
Hi from Australia too. We also have a Hoselink, and it is fantastic!! Loved the raised beds in this video. I particularly enjoyed the enclosed raised beds…this might the solution for keeping our naughty (but gorgeous) Boxer puppy, and Chickens out of our raised gardens 😂😂
Oh dear, you do have your hands full! Chickens AND a puppy (not to mention a Boxer puppy), I admire your perseverance.
Have a doggie and 3 village cats who love my raised straw gardens too...but they think the beds are for playing in and going to the toilet...Dohhh, so special cat proof fencing and enclosing that area is this years project...in Northern Hungary, near the Ukraine border. All good here. No worries.
All the featured gardens were beautiful. Thanks to all the folks who submitted and thanks to Garden Answer for sharing. I have enjoyed this series of videos so much. They are chalked full of amazing inspiration. #GardenGoals
I love this series of viewer submissions and it gives me so much inspiration BUT for those of us starting out this year just know you don’t need a beautiful garden right off the bat! My garden looks flimsy and a little sad compared to these but I know I’m just starting off so I hope no one got discouraged, there’s always time to improve ❤️
That'll be me this year! Starting small and using what we have!
I am doing the same, using what I have and what I can acquire for free. I am mostly container gardening with large barrels cut in half and using 5 gallon buckets. I just got some wooden boards for some raised beds for free from a guy that owns a sawmill. It's just the rounded outer edges of the cut logs but beggers can't be choosers when it's free. My motto is work with what you have until you can do better and there's always next year for more improvements.
I agree
Start with what you have or what you can get easily. Plants don't care what things look like
Blessings all
@@rebeccaclark9086
I've grown almost every veggie garden plant in 5-gallon buckets.
Blessings everyone everywhere and always
currently relocating my garden, this is just what I need!
Happy Friday Garden Answer friends! Thank you all for sharing your gardens. I love the ideas and progression shots. All beautiful and I know alot of hard work and labor of love has gone into your areas. All of them Lovely! So nice to see green and colored blooms of what will be in the coming months. I am in Michigan 5b and we have had rain up until yesterday and ended up with snow mid day. Enough to cover the ground. Hoping the weekend will bring some sun and it will melt away. Enjoy your day all.
These layouts were amazing! I was a little disappointed that Laura didn’t show my Hulgelkultur raised beds, but really enjoyed the ones featured. I absolutely love this channel!!!🥰
I had to look up what hügelkultur is!
How does watering work with Hügelkultur? Doesn't watering wash away the soil? (because it's so steep)
I was not familiar with hügelkultur (hoo-gull-culture) either, which prompted me to read a really interesting article about it. I'd love to hear more about how you created it.
@LauraK @Beach Seeker I wish I could post photos. The method I used was closer to what Laura did on her video last week when she filled her cold frames next to the Hartley. In my 4’ x 8’ raised beds, I layered rotting wood, sticks, leaves, green material(weeds), hay, pretty much everything organic I could find on my property. I added soil, compost, and raised bed mix to the top 10”. My raised beds are 30” high. The soil dropped down over the season, but it is rich and loamy and beautiful. Starting my second season, and I love the results so far. The Hulgelkultur method can be modified in different ways. If you choose the original method, I would just research watering first. There’s so much info out there.
@@beachseeker634 Replied above
It sounds like you have the perfect soil for a successful growing season. 😀
My daily dose of Garden Answer😍🥰😍
So I thought going to Ireland 1 day for vacation.... Or maybe to even live.... Would you recommend it or what should I know possibly ? ? I hope your doing well dear... 😊
Good morning GA! That's an awesome timing, because I want to make some raised beds for my vegetables! Thanks Laura and everyone that submitted! 🤗💜🤗
Love seeing everyone’s raised bed gardens!
I love all the inspiration of this video! I have been wanting to design a raised garden spot in my yard and my husband is reluctant due to the fact he believes "a garden should be on the ground".(Even though he won't be the one to tend the garden😉) I plan to re-watch this video with him so he can understand why I want it up off the ground and also so he can see how beautiful it can be when done right. We have been looking on Market Place for taller dog kennel fencing to use around the garden space to keep deer at bay....recycle/reuse. Thank you, Laura and Aaron, for "hosting" these types of videos for others to share their own spaces. I love it! Have a great weekend!♡
I can’t love this enough! Planning on building raised beds this year. So very inspiring. Thank you for the video and all those who submitted their wonderful creations! Just beautiful ❤️
Good morning, Laura☕️ So fun! They’re all gorgeous. 😍 Have a Blessed day 😊🐈
Shucks! We were hoping to see ours today! But, man what some gorgeous gardens! Even seen some ideas we need to incorporate for our climbers.
Thanks GA for helping us out with fresh ideas from some great green thumbs!😊
I just went to your channel, and WOW!! 🤩 Your garden is gorgeous! Well done 👏🏻💚
@@trainingolives3370 thank you ☺️
Good morning all have a safe and blessed day
Laura & Aaron & Sister in Law, Thank You for doing these videos! I know the work lift is big. I cannot tell you what a gift it is to see what others are willing to share with us. Laura’s ability to point out things & find a warm comment is graciousness personified. I’m pretty private & reserved about my garden-but admit that I’ve shared pictures with others who asked because of the community here. I’m so grateful that you’ve evolved the channel beyond those “gift opening” videos of the past…because THIS format feels like a gift to everyone. 🥰
These were all so beautiful! So many handy husbands too! I wish I had done this years ago but I am now to old to have these in my yard, so I will live vicariously through all of the photos and your accomplishments in your raised bed garden as well!! Thank you so much for giving us this gift!
Awesome video! Only one complaint!! It needed to be one hour long!❤❤❤❤
The blue house with the stone fireplace was dreamy! So gorgeous, well done
Beautiful gardens. The last one is right up my alley. Bigger is better.😊
Love this! How about a Raised Beds part 2? Maybe one that is all portager gardens? Thank you for providing us with all this lovely inspiration!
Such beautiful raised beds. I think I’m going to have to start on some myself. I really like the galvanized roofing kind with gravel walkways. I would definitely benefit having the taller heights, making access easier. Being in some of these lush green gardens would be so therapeutic! Laura and Aaron, I can’t thank you enough for brining this to us!💚💚💚
I too am going with the galvanized roofing, but I am going to special order roofing that comes with a coloured finish on one side. The brand my Home Depot carries has more than three dozen colours to choose from. Will look great with black stained wood, and won't look quite so industrial. Though I still do like the natural colour. Instead of a factory-applied paint, I am tempted to use Cor-tens. Gotta love rust!
Good Morning GA Friends and Family!
Good Morning, Laura! Have a great day!
Wow! It's looking so good and perfect.
All those raised beds are spectacular!! I love all of them! Congratulations to all who sent in pictures & video! 😃💚📸📹🌿
Good morning! 🌻🐝
Laura the Blue-Gray house with the raised beds from Lisa, that you liked so much, is located in Massachusetts, not New Hampshire. I know this because she's my daughter. Not sure how the mistake came about but thought I would take the time to set things straight. Lisa loves your channel, and so does my wife. We were thrilled to see Lisa's raised beds on this video! Thanks for all the happiness you bring to life!
Aaah, that makes sense. I was really confused when she said “New Hampshire, zone 7.” There’s probably 5 square miles on the coast in NH that is zone 7. 😂 Your daughter’s space is beautiful!
Getting major April Wilkerson vibes from Dawn’s garden!! Looks amazing! ❤️
When you said Jessica from zone 7a sent in pictures I almost said outloud "No I didn't! Who would have sent in pictures of my garden?" Then the first picture came up and I realized there is another gardener named Jessica in zone 7a with a raised bed garden. I feel like a kindred spirit already.
We just redesign our garden in 2021 to be raised beds made with masonry and concrete stones. You're welcome to take a look at the video I shared last month. I LOVED seeing all the other elegant designs you shared. Maybe I will be discipline enough to keep things that neat one day.
I’m so impressed with the frequency of your videos!!! I’m a first-time, first-year (until June) homeowner and intrepid gardener, and your channel has been inspiring me all winter! People wouldn’t know how much work you put into these videos because they are so naturalistic, look effortless and are like inviting a friend over to talk gardening. From planting spring bulbs last fall for the first time to starting my first seeds indoors, you have already given me so much guidance! Looking forward to when I can submit photos of my establishing garden your way!
I´m doing my first raised beds ever this spring for my florist company. This video was so inspiring for me 🥺😍 I will have my flowers at my boyfriends grandparents house because we live in a one room apartment (with 80 plants and around 100 baby flowers right now 😅). I´m so excited for this year and I will probably cry when I make my frist ever bouquet with my own flowers 💐
Thank-you to everyone for the ideas!!!
I haven't watched the video yet, but I think it's safe to assume this is unrelated. 😅
I dreamed last night that I was watching GA on my phone but then it was on the tv too (on one of the news channels)! I don't usually watch until a little later (when things slow down at work), and I don't watch much tv during the week, especially in the mornings.. So, who knows.. Maybe you are on tv, and I just didn't know!!!?!? 😂😂😂
Love your videos and your family!
I hope everyone has a good weekend!
I got two Hoselinks (one for front yard and one for bark yard) last year after seeing how enthusiastic you were about yours. So thankful I no longer have to wrestle with manual hose reels! Thanks for the recommendation!
Same here - I love mine!
What great raised bed ideas, especially the ones with high fences for those of us who live in deer country. I had no idea that you grow so much produce in so little a space! Thank you so much for putting these videos together, Laura!
Since you are in the studio, I've been meaning to ask how the mosquito bits worked with the fungus gnat larvae. I'm dealing with fungus gnats in my house plants and don't really want to spring for the mosquito bits unless they worked. 🌸🌿
Hi Rhonda, I used the mosquito bits and sticky tape. Happy to report both worked!!!!
These garden beds make mine look sad. I need to up my game. Thank you all for inspiration. GA forever❤️
Those raised bed gardens were all beautiful! Gardeners are so creative! The last garden from Ohio must have been northwest Ohio, where the land is FLAT!!! Huge farm country. Lots of space for growing. The sunrises and sunsets there are spectacular! Kudos to all the hard working gardeners who shared their photos! I love seeing how other people utilize their spaces.
So nice to see what someone from Reno is doing. We are in Dayton, NV (45-60 minutes outside of Reno). New to the area and trying to figure out what to grow here
Good morning! What beautiful gardens. Love seeing what everyone does for their gardens.
Thanks to everyone sharing their raised bed gardens. 💚
I had no idea that there were such things as concrete corner blocks for building garden beds. That just might be a game changer for me! I love seeing all of these beautiful ideas. Thanks, everyone and Laura, for sharing with us. Let's do this again next winter!
Lowes & HD have them outside in the garden area
So inspiring! I am trying a wildflower garden this year in my open area, but definitely will plan for a raised bed project next year. Thank you Laura for always finding new and creative ways to inspire us! Happy planting!
I love these types of videos, so many great ideas and so inspiring❣️
I also appreciate the various gardening zones shown.
So good to hear of the "through the years" projects. We are trying out some 1 plank fold out raised beds on a section of garden this year, hoping for more permanent beds in future. We are.retlired, so the expenses need to be minimal. I also have 2 different raised beds we have built since moving here 3 years ago. One on side of garage out of block wall. It is nice to be able to sit, and worked in this sloping area. It is mainly for greens ,as it is filtered sun. The other is a wood raised bed from salvaged materials in a nice sunny spot. We have towering trees, so finding enough sun is a challenge. And this small.area.betwwen house and garage had room for a large raised bed.
Wow the talent that’s out there is amazing , I’m so impressed with all the ideas of the raised beds ! I’m taking a few ideas of each one of these pictures, loved them all !🌸🪴🌺
Tks for uploading everyone🦋♥️
Loved the submission from Saskatchewan. Also my home province. Ordinarily grow season is May to September but we can use techniques and sometimes we can plant end of April to early October. We have lots of light and heat in the summer. Daylight can be 4 am to 10 pm.
I wish there was a love button instead of just a like button! I'm so encouraged by everyone's gardens!
Add I just added some design ideas and plants to my spring '23 garden planning!
I love seeing everyone’s garden. Big thank you to everyone who shared their personal space with us. I love them all!
Third year gardener here.
I can’t believe how much more “put together” my garden seems this year. Adding just a bit every year helps a lot! 🥰
This was so much fun to watch! We inherited two 3x6 raised beds when we bought our house but they are getting older and not positioned ideally. I want to create a new space in a sunnier part of our yard when we eventually replace the beds we have, and this video gives me so much inspiration!
This was so fun to see !! Thank you for sharing this. Currently working on making my dream garden.
Alot of beautiful gardens in different zones
I am loving the sharing of folks gardens. Please, Please do more of these!! Laura you so inspire us more then you know!!
I would love see another video like this on a cruddy weather day for you guys. I am super loving this series!!!
Hello to Vanessa in Saskatchewan from another zone 3b in southern Alberta! Our growing season is from about May to early September. We get the most sunshine per year in all of Canada, so there is a thriving vegetable greenhouse industry here!
I love all the different pictures of people raised beds. Each persons beds are just gorgeous
Bravo all you GA fans your raised bed gardens are beautiful!!
We need to also see submissions for balcony gardening - I would love to show you what you have inspired me to do with my 2-4 feet balconies - all with 4 inch pots
Ohhh amazing- I love this Dawn! I needed to see an enclosed garden in zone 6b!! Thank You 😊
I really enjoyed seeing other layout ideas for the raised beds and gardens. I have to create some protection for my beds because the deer, rabbits, and squirrels think I designed the area for them!
I loved seeing all the raised bed ideas. In my area with all my deer, I’d have to have an enclosed one too.
Oh my goodness I am so excited. Laura picked my raised beds! She did say I lived in New Hampshire though. I live in Massachusetts. I don’t know if I put the wrong information in. I couldn’t be more thrilled. Thank you so much Laura.
Congratulations Lisa! Your father and I are beyond thrilled you were featured on Garden Answer today.
This is my first time starting a garden and especially a raised bed and I love how you are so compassionate on everyone's ideas. I will be watching more videos to get as much information to start my new project. Thanks for all the direction
I love seeing what everyone else is doing across the country and the world! It is so much fun and brings us all closer doing what we love - growing something! Thanks to everyone for sharing.
It's really nice how positive you are about other people's efforts
Such an enthusiastic, supportive and encouraging spirit. A breath of fresh air.
the viewer submission videos are so fun and full of inspiration! wish i could go walk/talk and have a coffee/cocktail with some of these folks in these gardens.
We're getting ready to expand our raised beds and so appreciated this video and all the excellent ideas!
How fun! Always amazed as people’s vision and talent!
There are so many gardeners on TH-cam, but I keep coming back to your videos. You're so knowledgeable, full of bright smiles and passion for gardening, and watching you really relieves my anxiety. You're doing such a good job, please keep going. I loveeee your garden!
My raised bed materials are getting delivered today! Thanks for the inspiration. I might need to think about adding a sitting area to the design. They just looked so peaceful ♥️
This is such perfect timing! We are going to be building a raised bed garden this spring over the next month and a half or so... It'll be fenced in for one, deer and two... Dogs 🤣 so I enjoyed seeing the fenced in ones! I'm super excited because I've been using the garden bag beds as a temporary solution. They've done great, but can't wait until I have my dream garden ❤️
Connecticut is the land of rock walls. Glacier formation ftw!
What an inspiration! Everyone had beautiful gardens. It's hard to pick a favorite.
Laura, you are just a love! I live in NYC and only dream of a garden right now. Your enthusiasm and kindness and everything you share give me a chance to love gardening now, too. And your joyfulness always makes my day. Thank you!
We love gardening in our raised beds and have expanded our space over the years! So great to see so many ideas. Thanks for sharing this video!
I love that you share what your viewers are doing in their gardens. Every one did an amazing job. 👍🏼👍🏼❤️
Hope they do a part 2! Love all the inspiring photos…planing on doing beds this year but we have a slight slope so need to get the ground work done first then beds…it’s a daunting task but looking forward to having a garden!
I’m so excited for my new garden!! Can’t wait to start planting!!! Thanks for the inspiration!! So many wonderful ideas.
honestly, I LOVE HOW BEAT AND TIDY your garden is. I tried watching the minimal effort let everything grow wild stuff, and I can't. Your channel is the only one my personality can handle. I'm on zone 5a/ 5b so I genally can't even do most of what you do at same times. By my gosh you're garden is so clean and symmetrical, just gorgeous. Love it!
Yay for the Reno, NV submission! I was happy to see a fellow Reno-ite. 😊.
Beautiful spaces, everyone! Thank you, Laura and Aaron for all the work and inspiration you give.
Thank you!! I loved seeing everyone’s raised beds…so inspiring. I also have just 4 and would love to have more. 💗
one of my favorite subscriber videos ... I'm planning my raised beds at this very moment and watching this has given me so many ideas !!! of course, I always love to see the expression on your face and the excitement in your voice - inspiring and encouraging all of us to get out and garden !!!
