Showerthought: My whole block is obsessed with DIY raised garden beds

I see every other house on my street has a new raised garden bed this spring. It looks like we all watched the same home show about growing veggies. Do you think this is a local thing or a bigger trend?

Maybe we're all just copying each other... without even realizing it.

Raised garden beds have been getting popular for a few years now. They're not just a local thing; I've seen them all over my town too. People like them because they help with drainage and keep pests away. It's likely part of a bigger move towards growing your own food. Social media and gardening blogs have pushed the idea a lot recently.
