My backyard has a roughly twenty foot long, roughly 3.5
feet high and two feet wide, ostensibly adobe and
brick-constructed "planter." It holds dirt so of course I
can plant flowers, tomatoes, whatever in it. Its front
(facing my living room) is decorative. That is, it's nice to
look at.


What's the proper name for this trough-like planter?


Trough? Planter?


I don't know the proper name, but, as a kid, we called it a "garden
wall"

cheers

Raised bed? Terracing?
