Best features

This raised garden bed has dimensions that are very suitable for balconies and small patios, providing an ample space for growing herbs, vegetables, and flowers.

Taking up minimal floor space on a balcony, patio or terrace, this bed provides enough space to grow a variety of herbs and vegetables, suitable when you live in an apartment for rental and you are not allowed to dig Up the grounds to create a garden. And at a comfortable 30-inch height, you won't have to bend over or kneel to plant, prune or harvest your plants.

This is made of resin so you don't have to worry that it will stain or be splintered and not easily break down overtime. I like the shelf on the bottom where you can store some supplies and tools. It is easy to assemble, it just takes me a few minutes. As far as watering goes, you can water it from the reservoir, there is a little thing that pops up to red when you fill it up too high and there is a spout so if you have a lot of rain or something, you need to drain it which is very convenient. The color is dark gray, is also gentle on the eyes, and easily matches the colors in the garden, not easily stained.

Customers’ review: Positive feedback highlights its ease of assembly, convenience, compact design that fits in various spaces, and the ideal drainage plug. Users appreciate the ability to safely leave town for a few days, and the height is suitable to prevent other pets from jumping in. On the downside, some customers mention that the drainage hole must be opened manually, which, if forgotten, can lead to flooding. To overcome the above error that Keter Urban Bloomer 12.7-Gallon cannot meet, we suggest another one, Keter Easy Grow Elevated Garden Bed. This raised bed comes with a built-in water reservoir and a drainage tap, which helps prevent overflow by allowing you to easily control water levels without manual intervention.
