Hi thanks for your email. The most cost effective way is from concrete blockwork on a concrete footing. Blockwork is then rendered and painted, and waterproofed in the inside if a raised bed.

There should be no problem building raised beds. Because the site is sloping, but the top of the raised bed should be horizontal, one side of the raised bed will have to be taller. This site seems to have it covered. Good luck! https://www.seefit.com/ask/how-to-build-a-raised-bed-on-a-slope

Thank you so much Carolina, you've been a massive help, I'm definitely going for the vinca minor and I've got some bulbs coming up that I put in last Autumn( I don't seem to mind daffodills!) The garden was only landscaped last September it's quite small & I'd describe as urban, decking, slate & patio., I wanted low maintenance but had the beds put in so I could have some space for planting, it's all new to me but thorough enjoying planning what to plant! Thanks again

I would suggest you dig a trench footing 300mm in depth or spade depth and width. Then fill with cement ballast and level. Wait for the concrete to go off then start installing the blockwork to finish height. Line the base of the internal raised beds with pea shingle to aid drainage. I would not use a membrane on the internal walls of the raised bed or else you will be creating a tanking effect. Fill beds with 50% soil and 50 % gravel to aid drainage. Most plants will put up with this soil mix and drainage. I would face the external beds in either a tile cladding or timber fixed horizontally as in your image excerpt. Look forward to hearing reading what planting scheme your looking at.
