    How big is your garden ?  Do you mean you wish to raise the whole area or just parts ?  Constructing raised beds is one way but unless you can actually lay some sort of drainage system to the whole area and have the means to dispose of excess water, parts of your garden would still suffer from waterlogging.
    A natural pond and/or Bog garden may be feasible ?
    There are posters on the Forum who are well versed in drainage problems/remedies so hopefully you may get some advice.
    It would perhaps help if you could post more info and a photo or 2 :)

    A bit more info needed. Such soil type, size and roughly were you are in the UK. And photos would help too.
