Privet in a raised bed

Hi,
I've recently moved into a house on a busy road which has a 4ft wall around the front garden. The wall makes up the back of raised beds around 1ft wide and 2ft deep. We are hoping to use hedging to get some privacy (we are not allowed to erect a fence and I prefer the green of bushes anyway).
I'm a total novice with raised beds and i don't know if growing a hedge in one is possible. I previously grew privet but that was direct in the ground.
All my neighbours have privet hedges so i assume soil and conditions are good but no one else has raised beds.
I'm undertaking a huge renovation with the house so can't really afford to do anything to structural in the garden.
Any help would be appreciated
