Brick flower bed

[Andrips]

Hi,
I'm leveling up the garden for the workshop build and when took the old summerhouse down, it was on the sleepers and lot of soil underneath.
Decided to build a bit higher flower bed, have done before but from the softwood sleepers, they lasted around 7 years until rotted.
This time it was a block and the brick time , I have one wall from bricks, decided that it will blend in.
Missis not sure if she likes it, but I'm happy.
Bricks and blocks free from marketplace and neighbours.

Dig out for the footing 30cm, type 1 and ballast, then 10cm concrete.

Looks good could do with drilling some holes lower down in brickwork for excess water to escape.

Thanks. I was thinking about it, but because I'm planning to have some slabs around it, I didn't want to water coming out of the face side.
There is no concrete in the middle water should drain naturally.
will check in autumn to see how it goes after long rain, if water level stays high, will drill some holes on side.

It probably will be ok, to be honest
