Gardens come in all shapes and sizes!
What is Geometric Raised-bed gardening?
A raised bed is a garden plot that has been prepared by digging out an area of soil and replacing it with new, fertile topsoil. The term “raised” refers to the beds being higher than surrounding areas; they may be as much as several feet tall or more. Raising the beds allows for easier access to plants growing in them, especially when harvesting vegetables from above ground level. These gardens are given a beautiful shape with Contructing materials to provide subtlety and beauty. The symmetry of the Garden is maintained by these geometric shapes.
An Overview on Geometric Beds
In this type of garden, the beds are typically constructed from materials like rocks, bricks, logs, stones, etc., and they’re often filled with organic matter before planting begins. They also have an elevated surface so that water drains away more quickly. This allows for better drainage and less erosion. In addition, it’s easier to keep weeds out because there isn’t as much ground area available for them to grow into.

What are the Benefits of Raised Geometric Gardens?
A number of benefits have been claimed for raised bed gardening:
- It reduces weeding time because weeds cannot grow through the raised beds. This
means there is no need to pull weeds before sowing seeds; instead, you simply sow
seed directly onto the surface of the raised bed. - Water runoff is reduced as rainwater runs off the sides rather than down the middle
of the bed. - Soil aeration occurs naturally due to the increased exposure of topsoil to sunlight.
- Geometric Gardens adds up to the beauty of the Garden.
