Hey friends, I'm SO excited to be sharing this DIY enclosed garden project with you! I've been wanting to build this for a while now and this year, I finally tackled it. It turned out even better than I imagined AND was even easier to build that I first thought.
I hope you enjoy watching it come together. If you want to build one of your own, I've got you covered!

NOTE: There are varying opinions on using treated wood in and around the garden. I recommend you do your own research as there are a lot of factors to consider--not all soils are the same, not all treated wood is the same, not all applications are the same. We did our own research and built our garden the way we did intentionally and mindful of the pros and cons.
To be honest, what they're spraying on the crops in all of the fields nearby and all the garbage they add in processed foods are far more of a concern to me than treated wood posts...but I digress.
