For 2024, a decision was made to convert the former vegetable garden segment into a series of raised beds, presented in different styles, to showcase how productive a small space can be for growing food, herbs, flowers, etc.

The beds were built by our own Washington County Master Gardeners. Some were built from plans. Some were built from kits that can be purchased. Information about them can be found after the Gabion map and plant list.

We hope you enjoy the change!

Here are links to sources and/or plans for the various styles of raised beds on display here at the WCMG Demonstration and Education Gardens.
