Raised Bed Vegetable Gardening with Massachusetts Master Gardeners

Join us at the Grant Square Community Garden to learn about Raised Bed Vegetable Gardening!

Raised beds are an easy and productive way to grow vegetables (and some fruits, too!). After a quick review of the basics of growing vegetables at home, we’ll explore the details of raised bed gardening, including design, materials, and construction methods.

While this talk focuses on vegetables, the raised bed techniques we discuss can be adapted to many other kinds of gardens as well.
