You wouldn't need to build anything either, since it kinda covers everything.
Any particular type of seed that will work best for filling in the patches?

She just wanted some flowers for decoration wasn't planning to grow veg. But will they just die out in winter anyway? Stupid question I know but originally from Ireland so never dealt with keeping plants alive with snow. The idea of the raised bed was just to combat the very uneven ground in that corner but I'm not sure if it's worth it
