Answer

How do I deal with a high water table?

Design for it: raised levels, the right drainage, wet-tolerant planting, water features that suit.

In short

You design for it rather than fight it: raised beds and levels, drainage that works with the ground, planting that copes with wet, and pond or water features that suit it. A high water table is common near rivers and the Cotswold Water Park, and it shapes how we build, not whether we can.
