🌿 Just took a big step toward our dream of sustainable living! 🏡 Today, I’m thrilled to share part one of my series on creating our 4ft x 4ft raised garden beds. Two months ago, we moved into our new home on an acre and a quarter, and the vision of growing our own organic food is coming to life.

But here’s the exciting part – these materials were super easy to put together, no nails needed for this phase!

The first project on our property’s backyard agenda involved a trip to Home Depot, where I picked up the essentials:

- 12 Tan Brown Concrete Planter Wall Blocks (7.5 in. x 7.5 in. x 5.5 in.) at $0.90 each, totaling $10.80.

- 6 Prime Lumber (2 in. x 8 in. x 8 ft.) at $6.85 each, amounting to $41.10. [ I had these cut in half]

- 4 pieces of 1/2 in x 2 ft. #4 Rebar, costing $17.12.

This is more than just a garden bed; it’s a commitment to a healthier lifestyle as we get older. With the moving chaos settling and our family adjusting, I can’t wait to see this garden flourish.

Stay tuned as I share the journey of filling this bed with the goodness that’ll sustain us and nurture our connection with the land. 🌱✨ #DIYGarden #SustainableLiving #HomeGrownGoodness #BackyardProjects #OrganicLife
