I’ve been researching examples of different food producing gardens that have some style and “flavor” (no pun intended), and came across this lovely dense, yet, orderly, garden located in either Chelsea, New York or England, I’m not sure. My raised beds don’t look nearly as cool as these, but I think it’s a beautiful example of urban form and function. I actually saw these woven borders in an online catalog last week, and put them on my list to purchase as an exterior border for my vegetable garden. I think that using them as the raised beds, themselves, is much more interesting, and aesthetically pleasing, so I’ve decided to bite off of this idea. You know what they say, “imitation is the sincerest form of flattery….”
