I am gonna build some raised beds in my new garden, around the edge, this will be under some trees, which are big, but nice so i want to keep them, can I make them part of the border which will mean putting soil around their bases, not much just a few inches at most?

Why not plant bulbs in a nice circle around each tree trunk and cover them with about 4" of ornamental bark then fill the remainder of your raised be with soil or compost, plant your plants and top-dress the whole raised garden with ornamental bark

Sure - I'm planning to do some similar work in my Gran's garden and I have a tree and two established bushes to take into consideration.

sure it will pack down after you water it and it rains in it. i kept some of my existing landscaping when i put in my raised beds... i kept my daisys.. not the same as trees but same idea... had to build around them
