 Are you thinking of purchasing a raised garden box, or have already purchased one, but not sure of where it should be placed? Don’t worry, Birdies Garden Products is here to help. Even if you have a small garden, it is important to consider ideal raised garden box placement to guarantee that your plants thrive.

Towards the Sunlight

While all plants need the sun, some plants only require a certain amount of sunlight compared to others. As a result, where you place your raised garden box (and how much sunlight it offers) can affect what you can grow. Ideally, you should place your raised garden box in an area where it can receive six or more hours of direct sunlight. Avoid shaded areas, and only use part-shaded areas if you are unable to place your raised garden box in a sunny location. 

Consider Other Structures 

Don’t forget that structures such as fences, hedges, and walls can potentially disrupt the amount of sunlight and rainfall that your garden bed receives. Make sure to take your raised garden box’s proximity to other structures into account, and make certain that it is not entirely covered. If you live in an area that is prone to strong winds, however, you might want to consider placing them closer to such structures to protect them against wind damage. 

Near Water Sources 

Another factor to think about when it comes to your raised garden bed placement is its accessibility to nearby water sources. This can include a hose or outdoor faucet. Unless you use an irrigation system, you will likely be watering your plants by hand, and having a nearby water supply saves you time and effort from having to walk back and forth with a heavy watering can or long hose.
