Answer 1

If it is for a veggie garden, best advice is following. I have read hundreds of garden books. They say: You will need to watch where the sun is arround your home. Cause you need at least 8 good hours of sunshine in your veggie bed. You can determin that by watching how the Sun is moving from the beginning of the day until the evening. Keep a log and draw it out. Make a plan that way.

under gardening you type in raised garden beds.

If you have lot's of place arround your home, just make a few garden beds so it suits you and your father.

Nevertheless, keep the fotos and than look out for an old bench in the yard sales. And than take opac I think that's name of that procedure and and decorate your bench with it. Give it a focal point in your garden. I know that was not the question, but just giving you some hints. Good luck.
