    1. Decide on your budget. This will determine the size of your garden.
    2. Decide on your location.
    3. Decide on how tall you want (keep in mind the taller the more soil you'll need).
    4. Draw a rough graph of your garden
    5. Select your product - stone, wood, etc.

    If using stone, level the area with sand and use a staked string to help keep the stones level.

    If using wood, cut to desired lengths and nail or screw together. I also use corner brackets to firm the corners. To stack use wood as braces 18 inches on center and nail or screw in place.

    Wire, metal and other products may take a bit of trial and error. Whatever you choose, good luck and happy gardening!

    You can make a raised garden out of anything really, it depends upon how raised you want it (just off the ground, waist high etc) and how much you want to spend. it can be made from reclaimed material (like pallet wood) or new material. The simplest is to make a rectangle 2’x4’ box, line with landscape fabric and fill with the planting medium of your choice.
