Raised gardening is simply the process of growing plants and flowers above the ground. Flower lovers and gardeners use raised gardening when they don't have large areas of the outdoors to plant in. It is useful for those who have small yards or just want to plant in one area in the yard as well. If you have already planted your annual garden, but would like an area to grow herbs or any other types of plants, creating a raised garden bed may be the route to take. While raised gardening beds take away the toil of having to bend down much, it is also incredibly useful for senior citizens, or those who may have arthritis in the knees and legs.
