When it comes to building a beautiful, durable, and healthy kitchen garden, cedar raised beds are hard to beat. Naturally rot-resistant and chemical-free, cedar holds up against the elements without the need for pressure treatment—meaning no synthetic chemicals leaching into your soil or food. Its natural oils repel insects and fungi, helping your beds last for years, even in humid Atlanta climates. Plus, cedar’s warm, earthy tones add a timeless beauty to any garden space. Whether you're growing greens, tomatoes, or pollinator-friendly herbs, cedar beds give your plants—and your harvest—the solid, safe foundation they deserve.
