Vocabulary Question

Apr 11, 2007 7 Replies

My backyard has a roughly twenty foot long, roughly 3.5 feet high and two feet wide, ostensibly adobe and brick-constructed "planter." It holds dirt so of course I can plant flowers, tomatoes, whatever in it. Its front (facing my living room) is decorative. That is, it's nice to look at.



What's the proper name for this trough-like planter?

I don't know the proper name, but, as a kid, we called it a "garden wall"

It is one variety of a raised garden bed.

If it was a log it would be called Eco-Art Nurse Log. E.g.,

Beware of so-called tree experts who do not understand tree biology. Storms, fires, floods, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions keep reminding us that we are not the boss.
