      Do you deliver raised garden beds across Canterbury?

      Yes, delivery is available across Canterbury and other South Island destinations. Freight charges depend on your order and address. Contact us if you need help confirming delivery options.

      What is the difference between a planter box and a raised garden bed?

      The terms are often used interchangeably, but construction varies. Some planters have a base, while many raised garden beds are open-bottomed and sit directly on the ground. Check the individual product specifications before choosing a location.

      What size raised garden bed should I choose?

      Choose a size that fits your space and allows you to reach the planting area comfortably. Consider access from one or both sides, leave room for paths, and check that the bed is deep enough for your intended plants.

      How much soil will I need to fill my garden box?

      For a rectangular bed, multiply its internal length, width and intended fill depth in metres to estimate the volume in cubic metres. Multiply that figure by 1,000 for litres. Curved shapes require a different calculation, and the amount also depends on your chosen fill level.

      Can I put a raised garden bed on concrete or paving?

      Suitability depends on the model. Check its base design, drainage requirements and installation instructions first. Open-bottomed beds may need additional measures to manage drainage and prevent growing mix from escaping onto the surface.

      Do these planter boxes require assembly?

      Assembly requirements vary by model. Review the product description and instructions to check the components, tools and setup required before ordering.

      Create a Growing Space in Your Christchurch Garden

      Planter boxes and raised garden beds help organise your planting into defined areas, whether you’re starting a vegetable garden or adding herbs and flowers to your backyard. Filling a garden box with a suitable growing mix gives you more control over the soil your plants grow in.

      Choose a sunny position with convenient access to water. Allow space around each bed for planting, watering and harvesting, and consider how you will reach the centre once your crops are established.

      Choosing Your Planter Box Size and Depth

      Measure your available space and compare each planter’s dimensions before ordering. A narrow garden bed can fit alongside a path or fence, while a wider bed may offer more planting space where you have access from both sides.

      Depth matters too. Match the usable soil depth to the crops you want to grow, particularly for root vegetables or larger plants. Check whether the model is open-bottomed or has a base, as this affects placement, drainage and the amount of growing mix required.

      Planter Boxes for Vegetables, Herbs and Flowers

      Raised beds can bring different planting areas together in one garden. Use a bed for seasonal vegetables, keep frequently used herbs within easy reach, or add flowers around your outdoor living space.

      Group plants with similar sunlight and watering needs. Leave enough room for their mature size, and plan supports for climbing crops before planting. In exposed positions, consider shelter and how you will secure any covers or plant supports.
