Create a raised garden bed feature wall
From bare wall to beautiful blooms
If your backyard wall has been standing there looking a little…unimpressive, it’s time to give it a serious glow-up. We’re talking lush greenery, structured style and a rustic garden feature that’ll be more fruitful than that bare wall.
In this step-by-step guide, we’re showing you exactly how to transform a plain wall into a stunning raised garden bed feature wall, using Jack Oxy-Shield Modular curve panel to shape and contain your garden bed at ground level and then taking things up a notch (literally) with the Jack Trellis Fixing Kit to let your favourite climbing plants do their thing right up the wall.
The beauty of the Oxy-Shield Modular Curve Panel system is that you can shape your garden bed to suit your space, giving you that custom, built-in rustic look.
