20 Inspiring Vegetable Garden Design Ideas & Layouts

Hey there, are you looking for garden design ideas?

Great! 

I’ve put together a handful of awesome vegetable garden layout ideas and inspiration to get you started!

You’ll find ideas for small backyard gardening, as well as layout ideas for larger acreage plots.

Growing you own food is so rewarding, and not to mention tastes amazing.

It can also be a stylish and addition to your outdoor spaces!

Let’s dig into how we can make it happen.

#1) Small Backyard Garden Design Idea

If you don’t have a lot of room this vertical pallet herb garden from Etsy Seller Go Create Build is great!

You could easily plant smaller vegetable and herbs without using much space at all!

#2) Hexagon Raised Gardening Bed

I love this hexagon raised bed from Gardeners!

Raised beds are so popular as they help contain and clearly define the borders along whatever you’re planing.

They look great in a backyard, or on a large acreage.

#3) DIY Raised Garden Bed Design Idea

Pinterest is full of so many great ideas, like this DIY raised garden design with walking path.

A raised bed not only keeps your garden neatly contained, it allows you to fill it with fresh gardening soil that is perfect for your plants.

#4) Large Vegetable Garden Design Idea

Home Stratosphere showcases this lovely large garden design idea.

I love the walking paths and sitting area, as well as the layout utilizing the area next to the fence line.

#5) Lattice Trellis Garden Design Idea

Gardenary showcases this beautiful garden trellis design idea.

This would look fabulous in a back yard, with plants crawling up the trellis.

Not only is this pretty, it will be easy to tend and harvest as well!

#6) Large Rectangular Gardening Bed Design

Etsy Seller Rare Seed House showed this lovely garden design idea.

The long rectangular beds and trellis are both beautiful and functional.

#7) Wood Chip Garden Paths

If you don’t want to bother with making raised gardening beds, this photo from Home Stratosphere offers a great idea.

Simply sprinkle wood chips along your walking paths to keep the mud down and the plants contained.

#8) Small Space Garden Design Ideas

These raised garden box planter from Walmart is ideal for small space or backyard gardening.

Elevated gardening beds are easy to take care of, as well as a pretty addition to any backyard patio or porch.

#9) Garden Fencing Design Idea

Don’t forget about garden fencing, like this pretty fence from WamBam.

If you need to keep pets and other garden invaders out, this barrier fencing is a great idea!

#10) Backyard Gardening Idea

I love this gardening layout idea that I found on Pinterest!

You can use your fence line as a barrier, and install a simple border along the front edge.  

#11) Gorgeous Front Yard Garden Design

I am in love with this front yard vegetable garden that was featured on Gardeners Journal.

It’s so beautiful and well laid out! I love their combination of flowers and vegetables with vertical trellises for climbing plants too.

So pretty!

#12) Simple Large Garden Design Idea 

Properly Rooted showcases this impressively large gardening spread.

I wanted to include this picture, because this is how my Mom does it! 🙂

If you don’t want to fuss over raised beds and borders, you can simply rototill and plant into good soil!

Any row configuration will work, just be sure to leave spaces to walk in between the plants for easy harvesting.

If you have room, you can create something as big as your imagination.

Just be sure you have a handful of helpful friends who are willing to help you harvest. 😉

#13) Inlaid Backyard Garden Design Idea

Traditional Landscape showcases this smart idea!

You can use your natural sod grass as a garden border.  I love how this looks and most likely gets watered by yard sprinklers!

This is both smart and pretty!

#14) Raised Bed & Rock Garden Design Idea

Garden Design Idea

I just had to include this gorgeous raised bed garden layout from Well Appointed House.

The rock walking paths and pretty raised bed configurations are such a neat and attractive design.

#15) DIY Garden Trellis Design

A Hosting Home shows beginning gardeners a great way to add height (and save space) for those vertical climbing plants.  

Cucumbers and beans love to spread and climb, and these raised panel fences allow them to do so without taking over your garden.

I love how this leaves room for picking too!

#16) DIY Cinderblock Garden Design Idea

Garden Design Idea
 
This House Of Dreams showcases this smart raised bed idea.

There is no warping of wood, and the cinderblock holes even allow room for extra planting!

Love it!

#17) Block Edge Garden Design Layout

I love this multi shape garden design from Creative Vegetable Gardener.

The brick edges create a nice barrier for beds, and the round stock tank filled with water is a wonderful way to add aesthetics.

#18)  Tank Raised Bed Garden Design Idea

What a great idea for smaller garden spaces!
