There&#8217;s nothing quite as magical as planting a seed into some rich soil and watching a plant develop and provide food. In Vancouver we can enjoy near year-round food growing. I have watched kale grow all winter. And I&#8217;ve seen leeks survive the coldest months, ready to be chopped into a hearty winter soup.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Raised vegetable gardens<\/strong> make growing food more comfortable. Let&#8217;s face it, it&#8217;s not for everyone to be bent over the garden beds working away in the soil. A raised garden planter is an excellent way to bring the garden up to a working height, and provide a edge to sit on.<\/p>\n<p>Custom design your own raised vegetable garden. At Higher Ground Gardens we offer two types of raised garden boxes:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Cedar wood raised vegetable gardens<\/strong>. A premium product made from naturally rot-resistant wood. Non chemically-treated wood is not pressure treated and does not contain any noxious chemicals.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Spruce or Fir raised vegetable gardens with a plastic liner<\/strong>. A raised garden bed built around an insert prevents soil from touching softwood lumber such as spruce or fir, so your wood won&#8217;t decompose quickly. A more cost effective solution than cedar.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1730\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1730\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1730\" src=\"https:\/\/highergroundgardens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Higher-Ground-Gardens-cedar-raised-veg-box-1-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Higher Ground Gardens cedar raised vegetable box \" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1730\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cedar vegetable box, this model is 18&#8243; tall with a custom wood cap perfect for sitting on.<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_1838\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1838\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1838\" src=\"https:\/\/highergroundgardens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Raised-veg-box-grey-stain-2-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Raised vegetable garden softwood lumber plastic liner\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1838\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Raised vegetable garden with plastic liner, this model is 24&#8243; (two feet) tall<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Grow Food Organically in Your Own Garden \u00a0Kids love to grow their own food, and plenty of adults enjoy growing vegetables in the garden.
