Solid construction. Simple design.

Every one of our custom garden products are hand made with 1" thick northern white cedar. Boards are screwed together to ensure stability and longevity. 12" planting depth allows for deep rooted plants. Natural spacing between boards allow for proper drainage. Over time your cedar product will change color from a light brownish-yellow to a weathered gray.

How to care for your raised and elevated white cedar garden bed.

  • Application of a chemical free oil to the interior (prior to soil placement) and the exterior will prolong the life of your cedar but it is not necessary.
  • Do nothing. Northern white cedar is naturally rot and insect resistant. It is the same material used for most fencing. It will weather, and gray and last a really long time.
  • Tip: Placing cardboard beneath your soil for ground planters helps prevent weeds.

What people are saying...

"Recently I decided to plant a flower cutting garden. I needed a specific sized garden bed. They sell garden beds, but not the size I needed. When I called, they offered to make me the size I needed and they delivered it in less than 1 week. Friendly, helpful service and an asset to Cape Elizabeth."

"I recently completed building a bed for my wife’s birthday. With limited tools and space at my house, I brought a materials and cut list to the team at The Lumbery and asked them if they could cut the materials to the desired measurements. “Absolutely” was the response. We carefully selected the wood and I received the cut pieces in a timely manner. I had an excellent experience at The Lumbery…. the team was super helpful, enthusiastic about my project and gave me some advice that added to the final project. Good Wood. Great Service. Thank you!"

It matters where your wood comes from.

A Farmer's Market for Local Wood

“Buy Local Wood” is our unofficial tagline. Most people would think that buying local wood (and plants) in Maine, the most forested state in the lower 48, would be easy, but it’s not…especially for cedar wood products.

In fact, most cedar sold in Maine is red cedar which arrives from the west coast. The reason for this blatant incongruity is that white cedar is inconvenient. The white cedar tree is not nearly as girthy as its western cousin, it is predominantly milled in relatively little quantities, by small, family owned mills in small towns scattered throughout Maine and it is not heavily traded on the commodities market.

This is where the Lumbery comes in. We, essentially, have created a farmer’s market for local wood. We have opened a retail store that allows for out-of-the-way mills to expose their products to the larger market in southern Maine and beyond.

The benefits of this relationship include reduced emissions due to a compact chain of custody, hyper-local business growth which includes, foresters, loggers, truckers and mills who in turn have a greater tendency to ensure that the forests are well maintained and sustainable plus it creates a genuine sense of regionality and pride…like a homegrown athlete or celebrity.
