A portable gardening station comprising a bed for containing a growing medium. The bed has a base comprising a shoulder, a trough, and a raised center portion, wherein the trough is lower than the shoulder and raised center portion. The underside of the bed is reinforced with structural ribs to provide sufficient rigidity so that the base does not deflect under the weight of the growing medium. The gardening station has a perforated growing medium baseplate which is supported by the shoulder and raised center portion of the base. The baseplate is operative to support the growing medium and to allow water to drain from the growing medium through the baseplate and into the trough. The trough has a drain to allow water from the growing medium to exit the gardening station. The gardening station is supported by a structural assembly.
