In this post we share our photos from our assembly of the Boldly Growing Cedar Raised Gardens Beds (4×2).

This raised bed will allow you to create a dream kitchen garden just outside your home that not only looks beautiful but is also rot-resistant due to the cedar wood. It only took us 15 minutes to assemble after reading the six-step instruction card and watching a supplementary YouTube video.
