What is a raised garden bed?

These flower beds have legs or high sides that raise the planting surface higher than ground level. There are lots of models available to choose from. Some are around knee or thigh high and could be used with the garden kneeler or a chair, while others have extendable legs that make the planting surface waist high so you can stand to garden. A raised garden bed is useful if you have trouble bending, getting up off the floor is hard, you lack flexibility, or you suffer from pain, or fatigue.
