A raised bed is usually planted one way: a row of one crop, in the ground, with a fork involved. This one is a round felt bed that goes where the grower wants it, on paving, gravel or grass, and takes a mixed planting in one fill. Leaf crops, herbs, flowers and a taller centrepiece can share the same volume because the felt wall drains and breathes rather than holding water against the roots. It is the format for a courtyard, a doorstep or a sales display where a single bed has to look like a garden.
A raised bed is usually planted one way: a single crop, in the ground, with a fork involved somewhere. This one is filled where it stands and planted as a mixed bed the same afternoon.
Because the wall is felt rather than timber or plastic, it drains and breathes, so a mixed planting works: leaf crops and herbs near the edge, flowers through the middle, and something taller in the centre without the lower plants sitting in water. Compost does not sour in a shallow bed, and roots meet air at the felt face and branch instead of coiling. That is what makes a doorstep bed or a sales display read as a planted garden rather than a row of pots.
There is no digging and no base layer, so the bed goes straight onto paving, gravel or grass and can be moved when the planting changes. Nursery and retail buyers use the same format for display beds, where a round shape reads well from every side and the low wall keeps a mixed planting at eye level. The range runs in black, purple and green. The wall system is shared across the air pruning pot range.

The bed is opened where it is wanted, filled from the top, and planted straight into. Because the base is flat and stitched, it sits level on paving without rocking, and an empty bed can be lifted by one person and moved when a display is rearranged or a crop finishes. The rim is turned and stitched so the felt does not fray when the bed is dragged across gravel. Smaller propagation formats sit alongside in the seedling and propagation range.
Tell us the diameters, depths and colours your programme works to, since the bed is built to order and colours can be matched to a swatch. Orders ship in bags, on pallets or in cartons, and the flat bed stores in a fraction of the space a rigid planter takes. The wider soft container range sits in the planting bag range. Container and growing media supply is covered at HortiDaily and FreshPlaza.
Can different crops share one bed?
Yes. The felt drains and breathes, so leaf crops, herbs and flowers can be planted together without the lower plants sitting in water.
Does it need a base layer or digging?
No. It is filled where it stands, on paving, gravel or grass, and planted the same day.
How are bulk orders packed?
In bags, on pallets or in cartons, with mixed sizes and colours combined in one load.
Tell us the diameters, colours and quantities your programme needs, and we will come back with the packing plan, sample and lead time.
