Raised Garden Beds

   In the A.M.S Community Garden, we are making raised garden beds also called garden boxes. They are great for growing small plots of veggies and flowers. These beds help the prevention of soil compaction, keeping pathway weeds from garden soil, providing good drainage, and they serve as a barrier to pests such as slugs and snails. Raised Garden Beds not only help gardeners plant earlier in the season, it also helps keep valuable garden soil from being eroded or washed away by heavy rains.

   We hope you take up our advice and make raised garden beds in your own garden!!
