Do your garden beds have a bottom?
No, our composting gardens & garden beds do not have a bottom. They are designed to be placed on grass or soil. This will allow for proper drainage and give access to beneficial insects from below. Most of our elevated gardens have floorboards. Check product specifications.
Can I put my garden bed on concrete?
We do not recommend placing your bottomless garden bed on concrete. It was designed to be placed on grass or soil to allow for proper drainage and to give access to beneficial insects from below.
You can line the bottom of your garden bed with landscaping fabric to help keep the soil from seeping out, if you can only place your bed on concrete.
Where should I set up my garden bed?
We recommend placing your garden bed in a sunny location on flat, even ground. Be sure to leave yourself space around all sides for easy access.
Are your garden beds modular? Can I configure my own unique layout?
The majority of our Classic, Mezza and Urbana garden beds come with innovative posts that make for perfectly modular beds. This allows you to design and configure your own unique garden layout and size. Please check your garden bed has modular posts before purchase.
How can I make my garden bed more stable?
We recommend purchasing rebar from your local hardware store and inserting it into the post into the ground.
How can I keep critters out of my garden bed?
To keep animals from burrowing up into your garden bed you can bury chicken wire around the beds approx. 1-2 feet in the ground. You can also place chicken wire around the perimeter to keep them from climbing/hopping into your bed.

We stumbled upon the Keyhole garden concept while researching organic gardening methods. This inspired us to create our own series of garden beds using this African gardening technique. This idea was gifted to us by the African people and so we felt compelled to give back.

Customer Reviews
Great Product!
Love this raised bed! Got mine at Costco a couple weeks ago and installing now - so easy and durable! I have a vita planter on my deck I bought about 5 years ago and it looks brand new so I had faith in this product. Agree with a prior review - would be awesome if there was a trellis option to attach as well as a cover in general. We'll be needing to design something ourselves to keep the squirrels and birds out, as with anything like this.
Love these
I bought one of these last year from Costco, because I wanted something that would wear well and be tall enough so I don't have to bend over. I absolutely loved it--everything I planted grew really well! So, I decided to purchase another one this year and am just now setting it up. I like that I can use compostable materials, rather than having to fill the entire thing with soil. And, the box it comes in makes a nice base for the unit. The boxes are easy to assemble, sturdy and look good. A suggestion: when the growing season is over, pull out the leftover plant parts, put in another layer of cardboard, then cover with plant parts and then some soil. That will restore the soil level with minimal need to purchase more soil. A wish: I wish Vita had a nice trellis that could be attached to one side of the box.
Love it
I bought 2 boxes 2 1/2 years ago. Easy to put together. They withstand cold winters and the vegetables that I've planted have grown really well. I might be buying more next summer.
Love these beds
We bought these keyhole gardens several years ago. They work and look great. The height is wonderful for planting, maintaining, and harvesting. Our garden produces really well. Highly recommend.
I would LOVE to leave a review but....
So I ordered this (Or something like it) from Costco.com (Item on Costco.com is listed as #1383138). I had two orders shipped to me, first order came DESTROYED. The boxes were ripped open, the items inside were cracked, ZERO protection. I had the order replaced which was just delivered and same thing. Boxes are a joke, and the stuff inside is cracked. Save your money and build your own from something like Home Depot or Lowes.
