The wall assembly includes at least one plastic wall member. The wall assembly may include a plurality of straight, interconnected plastic wall members that define a rectangular raised garden bed. The plastic wall members are connected together with fasteners which may be screws or complementary hooks and slots. A first trestle member may be supported by the plastic wall members above ground level. A quantity of plant sustaining material may be placed over the first trestle member and be supported thereby. A second trestle member may be placed over the quantity of plant sustaining material, such that the quantity of plant sustaining material is sandwiched between the first trestle member and the second trestle member. The second trestle member is supported by the first trestle member and the plastic wall members above ground level. The first trestle member and the second trestle member may include a plurality of lateral projections. The plastic wall members may include slots and ledges elevated above ground level. The slots receive the lateral projections, and the ledges support the lateral projections of the first trestle member, whereby the first trestle member, the quantity of plant sustaining material, and the second trestle member are elevated above ground level. Air is permitted to circulate under the first trestle member.
