A rectangular frame for a raised garden bed has front and rear longitudinal sidewalls (2) one of which is higher than the other, interconnected releasably by transverse sidewalls which taper accordingly. On the outside, each of these sidewalls includes a U-shaped profile section (6) whose open ends face each other. Spaced apertures are formed in the approximately horizontally protruding webs of the U-shaped profile sections, at least along the longitudinal sidewalls (2, 3). The apertures serve to receive rod-like supports (10) on which a roof-like cover may be disposed. A plate or foil of plastics (26) and permeable to thermal radiation is arranged releasably at the outside of the sidewalls and spaced from the same. A tight-mesh wire screen is hooked over tongues formed by embossment in the sidewalls near the lower edge thereof. The frame provides a raised garden bed with equal conditions of growth for all plants. The frame is easily positioned, and maintained, and may act as a solar collector. <IMAGE> |
