The traditional name for a raised garden bed is a "garden box" or specifically, "raised bed." Raised beds are an innovative gardening technique where soil is elevated above ground level, often enclosed with materials like wood, stone, or bricks. This method improves drainage, reduces soil compaction, and makes planting and harvesting easier on the gardener’s back. Raised garden beds also warm up faster in the spring, which can lead to earlier planting and extended growing seasons. They are especially beneficial for growing vegetables, herbs, and flowers, providing a controlled environment that can enhance plant growth and health.
