These beautiful raised bed planters will instantly transform any outdoor space and make your gardening more successful


The benefits of raised bed planting is unmatched - from improved drainage to making gardening possible in small spaces, every gardener needs at least one raised bed in their yard. It doesn't matter if you're growing cut flowers, vegetables or anything in between, elevating your garden can help you with successful growing.
If you've already started planning your raised garden bed or have run into a few raised bed gardening mistakes, you might find that having a shiny new home for your plants will bring you one step closer to having the raised garden of your dreams. The good news is that Amazon has plenty of raised beds to offer, and many of them are on sale.
It can be overwhelming to navigate the wide range of raised beds out, but don't worry - I've searched high and low and compiled a list of the 9 best raised bed planters available on Amazon.
The best Amazon raised planters
There are so many things you can grow in a raised bed and a vast array of raised bed planters to choose from. Making a careful choice so that you have the right one for your plants and space is important for successful gardening, especially considering they aren't always the cheapest of items to purchase for your yard. That's why these Amazon raised bed planters are too good to miss.
You can maximise your growing success by combining raised beds with greenhouses. This metal raised garden bed has greenhouse roof that helps to keep your plants warm. It offers a large planting space and is made from galvanised metal of 0.5mm thickness, offering long-lasting use. I find the design neat and it's particularly beneficial for vegetable gardening.
Modular galvanised metal raised beds are increasingly popular for creating small kitchen gardens in your yard. This raised garden bed is made from a beautiful galvanised structure that can withstand greater pressures and harsher weather. 'I think if you want a more manicured allotment they're great,' says H&G's Head of Gardens, Rachel Bull. 'Plus, they're a bit smaller, which makes it easier to grow in them as you can reach plants more easily,' she adds. This planter comes in a range of colors and measures 4x2x1ft.
When it comes to raised bed gardening, you need more than just the container itself. That's why I think this raised garden bed kit is a steal for its price. It comes with gloves, ground nails and a support rod so that you can set your raised garden up quickly. This planter also has curled edges as an added safety feature, making it a great choice for gardening with children. The bed measures 8x4x1.5ft with 359 gallon soil capacity.
Not only is good drainage important for healthy plant growth, but you also need to ensure that your plants have exposure to good air circulation and that your container garden is breathable. This innovative raised garden bed is made from a polyethylene material, which is waterproof, high temperature resistant and low temperature resistant. It comes in a pack of 2 beds with 6 separate spaces for planting.
What I love most about raised garden planters is that you can really use them as a feature in your garden, or even create a wall with them as a method of garden zoning. This stunning 3 tier raised garden bed offers the opportunity to put your plants on display. It's made from fir wood, so you can paint your raised garden bed to personalize it. With 3 spaces for growing, you can achieve so much in a small amount of space.
Wooden raised bed planters are perfect for a softer look in your backyard, with natural materials and colors making the planter as much part of your planting as what you grow inside them. This raised garden bed is made from Chinese fir wood and is durable to withstand different weather conditions. It's easy to assemble, with panels that slide together. It measures 8ft wide with two sperate compartments for growing.
It's possible to use raised bed planters on balcony gardens, and this galvanised raised garden bed is the perfect fit for saving room. It has a sturdy structure, with a weight-bearing capacity of 350lb and space to store things beneath, if you wish. Being this elevated from the ground also offers even more drainage for your plants and vegetables. 'Metal raised beds are also trickier for slugs to climb, while wooden garden beds can be more attractive to slugs - especially if they start to rot or deteriorate,' notes H&G's Gardens Content Editor, Drew Swainston.
Arguably the best design to avoid waterlogged soil among your crops, a v-shaped raised bed planter like this one aids drainage by directing excess water to run out. This planter has a beautiful wood finish and a biodegradable liner that helps with deep aeration of your crops' root systems, as well as drainage. Perfect for small gardens and balconies, making vegetable growing possible in any space.
Maximise your raised bed growing by using this raised garden bed with 16 separate compartments. Made of premium high-grade vinyl, this raised garden bed is resistant to turning yellow and rusting. It measures around 4x4x1ft, providing ample room for growing. An added bonus is that it comes with connectors to stack another raised bed above it as a space-saving solution.
I can't wait to add a new level to my garden by incorporating raised beds. The beds in this selection are all engineered to enhance growing, and it's going to be tough to choose between them.
