just take it apart and use the lumber/concrete blocks, what ever you are using for 'container'; you'll be using a potting soil -- not 'yard dirt' in a raised bed, and you can take some of that with you -- but it's not that expensive to replace, and should be topped dressed every year with 'new' every year anyway.
I purchased 2 'portable' raised garden bed frames off of Amazon and LOVE them ... light weight 'plastic' but are hollow so are excellent insulation for the bed .. Lifetime 60069# Walmart also has a similar product.
You've got more than a whole year -- and depending on your grow zone, the plants will change with the season ( assuming you mean vegetable garden -- not container for flowering plants )...
Hi Robin, I'd build a 12" deep trough with legs on it so it wouldn't be as heavy to move. Also, put a bottom shelf {the legs should be attached to the top of the shelf and heavy duty rollers should be under the shelf. This helps to keep the raised garden from tipping when it's moved as it won't be so 'top heavy'. Be sure to put drainage holes in the bottom of the trough so the plants inside won't die from soggy soil. Good luck and Happy Gardening!
Here are tons of raised gardens on legs. Probably be your best bet, so you can disassemble them and take with you.

Maybe you could either build it in small sections, build it with wheels, or just build a frame and put the plants in, leaving them in the pot, or repot them.
