Why It's a Big Deal
April is when most people start prepping their gardens for spring and summer. To put your plants in the best position to thrive, it's worth using a raised garden bed. These special planters improve soil drainage while protecting plants from pests. Right now is a great time to get one, too—Walmart just came out with a deal on a popular wooden raised garden bed, and it's over 50% off.
The Costway Wooden Vegetable Raised Garden Bed is usually $109, but you can now get it for $50 at Walmart as part of a special Rollback deal that saves you $59. This is a popular garden bed at Walmart, with over 180 five-star ratings from shoppers who note its ease of assembly and natural appearance. Walmart notes that this model has fewer returns than others like it, meaning when customers buy this, they like it and keep it.
Costway Wooden Vegetable Raised Garden Bed, $50 (was $109) at Walmart
What Shoppers Should Know
- Dimensions: 97 x 25 x 10 inches
- Material: Fir wood
- Divider: Not included, but available in a bundle for $60
- Best For: Vegetables and flowers
Measuring 97-by-25 inches, this raised bed gives you a total of approximately 16.8 square feet of planting space. That should be enough for around eight cabbages on one side and dozens of carrots on the other, or a tremendous wildflower display across the whole bed. At 10 inches high, you won’t need a ton of soil to fill it, but you will still get the advantages of a raised bed.
Plus, it is bottomless, so lengthy roots can continue down to your regular soil. It boasts a 100% fir wood construction, which is why we’re seeing customers say they can “just smell cedar” upon opening the box.

What Reviewers Are Saying
While the bed looks complex, the assembly is quite easy. One customer reported that her “10 and 12-year-old sons were able to put the boxes together.” Another customer, who has six of these garden beds, noted that “assembly takes between 20 to 30 minutes.”
What grows best in these fine Costway garden beds? If you’re a first-timer, you can use our beginner’s gardening guide to get started, but really, the sky’s the limit. One customer reported successfully growing “everything in these from tomatoes to even grapevines!” Another user mentioned they “Bought two of these for my flowers and plan to get more for veggies.”
The Costway wooden raised garden bed is just $50 at Walmart, but not for much longer. That’s because it is part of a temporary Walmart Rollback Deal that saves you $59 (over 50% of the original price) off the usual $109. Due to the nature of Rollbacks, the high popularity of this item, and the fact that many customers buy multiples, you’ll want to take advantage of this deal soon, because it may sell out.
