Do a google search for raised vegetable garden. You will get more hits than you can handle. Here is one.

 raised vegetable gardens

At one time there was a series on television called the square foot gardener. I am not sure where you can get the tapes, but there are tapes available on the site below.

I built raised beds in KY as there was no good soil near the house. I used cross ties and made beds that were 16' by 4'. I would recommend beds a little narrower than these are it was hard to reach the center with the 8" cross tie boarder.

While invovled with a non-profit farm that worked during the day with physically and metally challanged people they had an extensive raised garden area that had areas for both wheel chair as well as just lower gardens. They had paths between so wheel chairs could go between and were paved. The bulk of them were just out of 2x12's and built in a variety of sizes depending on the people. They had some with flowers as well as vegtables.

I'm sure some of the links mention this, but it's worth mentioning here as well. Be very careful about which wood you use if you make raised boxes. Arsenic treated wood will leach into the soil and vegetables, and will poison you slowly. The new copper treated wood is better but still not great. Old railroad ties have creosote which can also poison you slowly. Synthetic deck planks (plasticised), natural cedar, etc may be a better choice.

When I was researching raised beds earlier this year I happened across this info on treated lumber. This may help you decide what is safe to use.
