Raised garden beds for seniors #871731

I work at an apartment complex for seniors, many who love to garden. We want to put in raised garden beds so that they are more easily accessible to our residents. What material would be best for outdoor garden beds and would allow residents to plan flower or vegetables? We would like to them to be 3-4 feet high to accomodate more of our community members.
