Two Tier Garden Bed

This raised garden bed has a very unique style. It is actually two-tier. Meaning it has a stair-step appearance. The really cool thing about this design is that you can plant on both levels. So, if you have something you want to plant that might be taller then plant them on the bottom tier. Then you can plant smaller plants or flowers on the second tier, and they will still be visible and get lots of sunlight.
