Sure, but you don't start training material in a bonsai pot. A garden bed would be a good idea.
Because I am having a garden bed in my home.
I hope however Annaliz did not mean that garden bed is IN her home...

Now.. CAN you keep a bonsai in a gardenbed? Yes you could. It will not be easy to keep it refined. It might not qualify for the label bonsai (Although garden bonsai do exist). But they may still be nice to look at.

I'm new to this so I'm not sure how well it'd actually work. Just a thought !

Why exactly would you want to do that?

I'm not sure, I'm assuming the OP wants to use a raised garden bed for aesthetic appeal. It was just an idea of how you might accomplish this while still keeping your tree contained.

I see, and now I'm not sure either. From what the OP wrote about preparing bonsai, I understood she wanted to put them in a raised garden bed to get better growth, before training it for a pot. Guess only the OP can answer that question.
