raised beds

Elevated planting containers

Raised beds are garden plots built above ground level, typically framed with wood, stone, or metal and filled with soil.

They offer better drainage, easier access, and control over soil quality.

The term appears almost exclusively in gardening contexts: We planted tomatoes in the raised beds this year.
