I needed raised beds that would be waist-level and attractive since my only sunny place is in my very small front yard. I live in a HOA neighborhood where every yard is manicured. How to sneak in a vegetable garden without the yard police knocking on my door? These beds are gorgeous--I love the light grey color with hints of the cedar poking through. They look great against the stonework on the front of the house. We will be placing these on top of pavers with low-growing succulents around the edges.
