The 4-foot-square boxes, made of redwood 4-by-6s capped with 2-by-6s, stand 20 inches tall, making it easy to harvest crops from them without stooping. Follow these construction details to build your boxes, then fill them with herbs drawn from the selection below.

To hold the tiered box together, attach 18-inch 2-by-2s with wood screws to each interior corner and the middle of each side. Use landscape fabric to cover the ground beneath the box.
