As Cassmarlov said- You will find tons of ideas and instructions if you Google "Youtube-How to build raised flower beds". If you want to go an easier route, google "Container Gardening".
We put down some wood logs (made for planters) and back filled with potting soil, then weed control paper, then mulch. Then we planted our flowers/bushes in it. The logs are not attached to the ground, just each other with long nails. Hope this helps. We put ours 2 logs high, you may want higher but we found this was plenty of root soil for our small bushes and flowers.
