And you drop off into a beautiful forest!! Have you considered raised beds on a terrace with some sort of path way like a hairpin turn walking past your raised garden?
There was an episode on Netflix, I think the Monty Don show Dream Big, Small Spaces or something like that where they had exactly what you have. The owners changed Master Gardener Monty Don's idea but make nice tall raised gardens on a pathway with those pathways. Each bed was something different. flowers in front with some veggies tossed in. Ad the end of the path way (Cuz paths should always lead "somewhere"" was a sitting area.
