Create a Kitchen Garden With 4-ft. Raised Beds

Use the following diagrams to create your own kitchen garden, or potager. The small diagram at right shows the overall structure of the garden, which is made up of four 4-ft. raised beds. Details for each quadrant are shown in the larger diagram, below.

You can make your own 4-ft. raised beds, or try one of these options:

• Copper Cap Raised Bed
• Raised Bed Corners

For a smaller version, see our plan that uses 3-ft. raised beds.

glory, moonflower, black-eyed Susan vine (Thunbergia alata) and canary creeper (Tropaeolum nasturtium).
