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?

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

It is one variety of a raised garden bed.

If it was a log it would be called Eco-Art Nurse Log.

Beware of so-called tree experts who do not understand tree biology.
Storms, fires, floods, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions keep reminding us
that we are not the boss.
