Anyone who has landscaped their outdoor area knows that gardening can be back-breaking work. That's where the beauty of a raised garden bed comes in. Not only does it serve as decor for your yard, but it also makes gardening more accessible by lifting the soil off the ground for easier access. On top of that, elevated planters are also ideal for paved areas or for individuals without a yard.
Oftentimes, raised garden beds are constructed with galvanized metal, but for porches and decorated yards, we prefer a wooden planter as it fits better with the existing decor. One such option, the Costway Raised Garden Bed, is currently on sale as part of a limited-time flash deal at Walmart. Instead of the regular price of $159, you can score the garden bed for just $75.

The garden bed is deep and spacious to provide plenty of room to garden. Measuring 47.5 inches long, 17 inches wide, and 20 inches deep, you can plant several types of vegetables, flowers, or berry bushes. The legs lift the garden bed 10 inches from the ground, making it the perfect height to pull up a chair, sit down, and get to work.
One reviewer said, "It's easy to assemble, and I love the wood smell. It's the perfect height for my strawberry garden. Excellent quality!"
Another shopper wrote, "It's very comfortable for me to garden with a physical impairment. Easy to assemble with beautiful results! [Now] it's easy to manage my flower bed."
Crafted from 100% natural fir wood, this elevated garden bed is solid. In fact, the structure is so stable that it can hold a weight of up to 220 pounds once assembled. The fir wood doesn't have just an attractive, light, natural grain, but the smooth, untreated surface is actually good for growing healthy plants. On top of that, fir wood helps soil retain moisture without becoming waterlogged, though that won't be a concern since the planter box has five drainage holes to ventilate the soil.
One shopper wrote, "This is a great buy! It's sturdy and easy to build. My plants are thriving in it. It does well outside in constant rain, humidity, and with bugs, but would be pretty inside as well."
Another reviewer said, "This holder is solid and really beautiful. We put three baskets of petunias in it, which fit perfectly. It is not messy, and it will be easy to put away over winter."
The $75 flash deal on the Costway Raised Garden Bed won't last long. Make gardening a breeze this year by adding this affordable planter to your cart while the savings are still available.
