Wooden Raised Beds
If you want a neater, more productive patch without turning your garden into a digging project, wooden raised beds are hard to beat. They lift your growing space up to a comfortable working height, keep everything nicely contained, and give you a clean canvas for vegetables, herbs and flowers alike.
At Harrod Horticultural, we’ve spent years researching and refining our designs to create an award-winning range of wooden raised beds, made here in the UK from quality timber. Whether you’re starting small or planning a full kitchen garden, there’s a style to suit your space and your budget – from our great-value Allotment Raised Beds, through our Standard Raised Beds, to the premium, feature-worthy Superior Raised Beds.
Why choose wooden raised beds?
Wooden raised beds offer practical benefits you’ll notice straight away:
-
Less bending, less kneeling – easier planting, weeding and harvesting (especially welcome as the season progresses).
-
Better soil control – fill your bed with the right mix for what you’re growing, whether that’s rich compost for salads or free-draining soil for Mediterranean herbs.
-
Earlier starts, longer seasons – raised soil tends to warm up faster in spring, helping you get going sooner and giving young plants a bit more resilience during chilly spells.
-
Fewer weeds, tidier edges – a defined growing area makes weeds easier to spot and remove, and keeps paths and borders looking sharp.
-
A healthier growing environment – elevating your soil can reduce some of the issues that come from tired, compacted ground, and it can help deter certain soil-borne pests.
-
They simply look good – timber raised beds add structure to the garden and instantly make a space feel more “finished”.
Find the right wooden raised bed for your garden
Allotment Raised Beds
A smart, budget-friendly option if you’re building multiple beds or getting started with veg growing. Perfect for creating a productive layout without overspending.
Standard Raised Beds
A brilliant all-rounder: robust, practical and ideal for most gardens. Great for everything from cut-and-come-again leaves and herbs to carrots, beans and summer flowers.
Superior Raised Beds
For those who want a raised bed that’s as much a garden feature as it is a growing space. A premium finish and a standout look – ideal for patios, courtyards and showpiece kitchen gardens.
A simple tip for better results
Before filling your wooden raised bed, think in layers: coarse material at the bottom for drainage (if needed), then good quality topsoil and compost. It’s one of those small jobs that pays you back all season.
If you’re planning a single herb bed or a full run of raised bed planters, our wooden raised beds make it easy to create a productive, attractive growing area you’ll enjoy using every week.
