The Forest Caledonian Long Raised Bed is an excellent choice for creating a productive growing area in narrow gardens, patios or allotments. Measuring 45cm wide by 180cm long, this raised bed is ideal for growing vegetables, herbs, flowers and other plants where space is limited, while making the most of long, slim garden borders.
Part of the popular Caledonian Raised Bed range, this planter can be used on its own or combined with other sizes to create a customised growing area that suits your outdoor space.
Perfect for Compact Kitchen Gardens
Whether you're growing fresh herbs for cooking, seasonal vegetables or colourful flowers, this raised bed provides a simple and effective planting solution. Raised beds improve drainage, make soil management easier and help create healthier growing conditions throughout the year.
If you are growing edible produce, Forest recommends lining the planter with a suitable membrane before adding compost and soil for the best results.
