Where to buy untreated lumber to make planting beds for veggies?

Obviously I don't want it treated.

Where did you get yours if you used lumber to make raised beds for veggies?

TIA

I don't have a garden, but I believe you can get untreated lumber at any Home Depot or Lowes. Maybe try a lumber yard, but they're probably more expensive.

if its gonna be outside, i think you would want to get pressure treated wood. The treating keeps the wood from rotting with rain, hot/cold temps, helps keep bugs from eating the wood, etc....

It has to be untreated if you grow veggies in it.

We used cedar -- you can get it at Home Depot or Lowes.
