Island beds are freestanding beds, usually surrounded by lawn. By installing an island bed you can take a bare, uninteresting area and turn it into an attractive, eye-catching landscape feature.

Island beds can also be a great way to add plants that will attract pollinators. The key to attracting bees, butterflies and birds is providing a mix of native and pollinator-friendly plants that offer a steady supply of food.
