A planter assembly o raise a garden bed to a height that eliminates or minimizes stoop labour is comprised of lightweight, flexible, materials with adequate tensile strength as well as a rigid element with adequate compressive strength.Flexible wire mesh is formed into a perimeter frame of pre-determined width, length and height in combination with rods and wire.A textile lines the perimeter frame, providing a barrier impervious to soil. The textile encloses the top horizontal wire of the mesh within a hem held fast by wire and is thereby restrained. A band of the textile, sufficiently wide to be held to the ground by the placement of soil, extends from the base of the perimeter frame towards its middle.Wire is also used as crossties to enable the lateral earth pressure pushing against one side to resist the lateral earth pressure pushing against the side opposite.
