Collection: Vegtrug

About the VegTrug Collection

The VegTrug is an elevated, V-shaped wooden planter that brings the whole vegetable garden up to a comfortable standing height — no bending, no kneeling, and no digging up your yard. Each VegTrug raised garden planter sits at roughly 31 inches tall, so you can sow, water, and harvest while standing, making it one of the easiest ways to grow your own food on a patio, deck, balcony, or small backyard.

Why gardeners choose VegTrug

Ergonomic working height: The waist-level design ends the bending and kneeling of ground-level gardening and keeps your crops within easy reach, for comfortable access for every body.

Signature V-shape: The deep V-section (about 16.8" at its deepest) gives roots room to run. Shallow-rooted herbs and leafy greens thrive along the sides, while the deeper center supports tomatoes, peppers, and other deep-rooted vegetables — all in one bed.

Built-in liner and drainage: Every VegTrug planter includes a fitted, breathable membrane liner and built-in drainage that aerate the soil, prevent waterlogging, and protect the wood so your bed lasts season after season.

Naturally durable wood: Crafted from sustainably grown fir or cedar and pre-treated with a safe, water-based preservative, VegTrug planters are made to live outdoors year-round.

Off the ground, away from pests: Raising the bed keeps crops above slugs, snails, and many soil-borne problems, and the open frame can be netted or covered for extra protection.

The full VegTrug range

This collection brings together the complete VegTrug lineup. The classic VegTrug raised garden planter comes in two sizes and in natural wood or grey, while the VegTrug Wallhugger features a flat back that tucks neatly against a wall or fence — perfect for narrow patios and balconies. You'll also find the compact VegTrug herb planter for fresh herbs by the kitchen door, the Deluxe Potting Bench for a dedicated workspace, plus self-watering kits and replacement liners to keep your beds growing for years.

What can you grow in a VegTrug?

Almost anything you'd grow in a traditional raised bed. The V-shape suits tomatoes, peppers, zucchini, beans, lettuce and salad greens, kale, carrots, radishes, strawberries, and a wide range of herbs such as basil, parsley, thyme, and mint. Fill it with a quality mix of garden soil and compost, and you're ready to plant.

What should I fill my VegTrug with?

A blend of high-quality garden or raised-bed soil mixed with compost works best — it provides the drainage and nutrients vegetables and herbs need throughout the season.

A comfortable standing work height, the productive V-shaped growing space, built-in drainage and liner, durable weather-ready wood, and a compact form that fits patios, decks, and balconies where a traditional garden won't.
