I love gardening in raised beds. They provide lots of drainage, use rich, organic compost rather than relying on my yard's soil quality, and they create a cottage garden-feel.
But, whether you build wooden raised beds or purchase them, they can be quite an investment. That's why I was delighted to stumble across this set of two Costco vinyl wood finish raised beds currently on sale for $99.99 – around the price of other singular raised beds on the market. They're a substantial size to grow crops or cut flowers, and the vinyl material makes them more durable and lightweight than real wood, yet the finish provides that sought-after natural look.
