Spring has finally sprung, which can only mean one thing. It's officially gardening season! As you get ready to plan your perfect garden, it's important to take inventory of everything you need or want to upgrade from last season, whether its some new gloves, more mulch or a fresh pair of shears.
One particularly popular upgrade among gardeners are raised garden beds. Not only do they keep critters away from plants, they also allow for a longer growing season. If pesky creatures have stolen your beloved fruits and veggies in the past, you might want to check out Costco's self-watering elevated garden planter for $200.
Raised garden beds on their own are a gardener's best friend — but this one in particular has all the bells and whistles. The 23" x 49" x 30" bed waters itself, which means you won't have to check up on your plants as much. Plus, you won't have to worry about over-watering them — the reservoir captures and retains water when necessary, ensuring that the root systems don't become waterlogged.
With over 1,000 five-star reviews, customers are loving how sturdy and easy the unit is to put together. "What a great little planter! Love the self-watering feature, durability, quality wood and simple assembly. I put it together by myself in less than 10 minutes. This elevated planter will be a great addition to our patio and provides us with more space to grow more herbs and greens," says one Costco satisfied customer.
While you'll need a Costco membership to purchase their self-watering garden bed, we found a few similar options from retailers like Amazon, Walmart and more that'll do the job.
