We put down wooden planter logs (made for it) about 2 or 3 deep and filled it with potting soil. Then we put on weed cover and mulched over it. Then we put in our perennial flowers, holly bush, miniature cedar bush etc. We took it down the side and out to the front of our home so it wraps around the corner in view of our driveway. We also plant annuals in it every spring, usually mostly petunias as they do so well there. Hope this helps.

You can purchase a prefabricated box from Home Depot and other sources or you can build one yourself. There are many variations in design and yours does not need to be like anyone else's. If you decide to build from lumber, a lot depends on your tools and skills. Here is a well-respected site with advice on building one style:
