In 2022 this raised bed was bursting with both blooms and veggies!
Tiny tomato plants were bearing tiny tomatoes.
An unusual purple-and-white Lupine was growing a second bloom atop the first. Merry Marigolds helped to deter unfriendly bugs. Multiple colors of Dahlias delighted the eyes and had carefully placed stakes nearby in case of a growth spurt. The front border of the bed was graced with purple Alyssum, and the whole bed had a feeling of careful planning. Finally, a tiny bird peeked cheerfully past the perky Pansies, adding character and an homage to fauna.




The Featured Bed of the Week contest will return in 2023. Be on the lookout for your ribbon and prize, which will be placed in your raised bed.
