Meet Meghan Jimenez – Your Raised Bed Gardening Guide
Hi, I’m Meghan Jimenez, the gardener behind Raised Bed Harvest. I’ve been growing plants for as long as I can remember, and I want to share the knowledge and experience I’ve gained over the years to help you succeed with raised bed gardening.
My love for gardening started as a child when I would help my parents tend to the vegetables and flowers in our backyard garden. I was fascinated watching tiny seeds turn into abundant, colorful plants that we could eat or admire. As an adult, I was living in an apartment and longing for a garden plot to call my own. That’s when I discovered raised garden beds – the perfect solution for growing plants anywhere, no matter the space.
Over the past decade, I’ve become a dedicated practitioner and promoter of raised bed vegetable gardening. I’ve grown food in small urban patios, suburban yards, community gardens – you name it. I’m passionate about the benefits of raised beds for accessibility, productivity, and growing food sustainably. There’s nothing quite like biting into a juicy, vine-ripened tomato or spicy pepper grown in your own raised bed!
Through trial and error, I’ve learned how to build, fill, plant, and maintain thriving raised beds made from materials like wood, plastic, stone, and metal. No matter the challenges – pests, diseases, weather – I’ve developed solutions for overcoming obstacles and growing a bountiful raised bed harvest.
I created Raised Bed Harvest to share everything I’ve learned over the years about successful raised bed gardening. You’ll find tips and guides covering all aspects – from design and construction to choosing plants to care and maintenance. My goal is to equip you with the knowledge and confidence to grow your own healthy, organic food at home in raised beds.
When I’m not writing about gardening, you can usually find me hiking, camping, traveling, and exploring the great outdoors. Of course I also love cooking up fresh meals with veggies from my raised beds! I hope my passion and experience with raised bed gardening will inform and inspire you on your own journey with homegrown harvests.
Let’s grow together!
Meghan
