Gardeners Love Our Favorite Budget-Friendly Raised Garden Bed—and That Was *Before* It Was 31% Off

Gardening season’s here, and we’re ready to get our hands dirty. If you’re looking to spare your back and knees while you do it, you’ll want a raised garden bed for pain-free planting, weeding, and picking. 

Our team has tested out a slew of raised garden beds to see which ones we’d call the best of the best. Our testers rated the Best Choice Products Raised Garden Bed the best pick for folks on a budget, and a recent 31 percent discount at Amazon has now made our budget pick more affordable than ever. 

Best Choice Products Raised Garden Bed

Now $90—down from $130—our “Best Budget” raised bed is made to make gardening accessible, and we love that it lets us gardeners enjoy our favorite hobby year after year, no matter how old we are or how bad our knees get.

It’s perfect for older gardeners with limited mobility, one five-star reviewer said. “I bought this for my father’s 90th birthday. He has limited mobility, and bending or kneeling is out of the question,” the shopper shared. “This is kept on the deck next to the house, and he can walk out and check on it and [play] around with it without any assistance.”

This raised garden bed stands waist high—at 33 inches, halfway between table height and counter height—ideal for gardening without bending or stooping. Our testers loved that the planting area is one large, uninterrupted compartment 8.5 inches deep, complete with drainage holes and room for roots to sprawl and thrive. A wood-slat shelf underneath provides helpful storage for watering cans, extra pots, gardening tools, and the like, and two side shelves pop up for extra workspace when needed and fold down when not in use. 

Standing on four casters, this portable garden bed easily maneuvers from sun, to shade, to safety during inclement weather, or to store it for winter. It’s so simple, in fact, one shopper said, “My 87-year-old mother is able to move it around easily to get more sunlight or protect it from a storm.” The wheels lock, too, so there’s no chance the planter will take a joy ride without you. 

Assembly took our testers nearly two hours, though a good electric screwdriver could have sped that up. Once assembled though, they noted that it feels sturdy and has held up well, even after weathering a few storms. 

With a footprint of 57 x 21 feet, this elevated planter is small-space-friendly and perfect for petite porches, balconies, small yards, or no yard at all.
