Elevated gardening beds are not necessarily a new thing, yet it has become a very, hot trend especially for those with limited mobility or those who live in urban areas. I love supporting local, so it was a nice surprise to discover www.Gronomics.com in East Bethel, MN manufacturing a large variety of elevated garden bed styles to choose from. Gronomics is open M-F for business, so drive up and see their products first hand and while you're at it say hi to the pet pig, chickens and goats!

#MadeInMinnesota with pride using local resources, their products are shipped around the country to help fuel a growing trend to grown your own food. Made from cedar, the beds can be ordered unfinished or finished according to your lifestyle - mine were finished, yet as they age will patina to a silvery, gray color. The beds I own are Rustic Series, size 24"X48"X30" with a soil capacity of 5.4 cubic feet. No tools necessary as you simply slide the pieces together using the tongue/groove assembly. $219-$349

The vertical garden makes life simple and easy with it's small footprint of around 2 sqft., yet has over 17 feet of linear growing space. It comes with an irrigation system that you can hook up to a water supply. I opted for the vertical garden stand which has an 8-gallon water reservoir and pump with timer that automatically waters my vertical garden four times a day. The castors on the bottom of the stand make it easy to move the garden around should bad weather approach and I need to place inside my garage. $299-$699
