I did something similar.  I had six 4 by 16 beds.  I ran a 2" PVC sched 40 
line down to the garden where I placed a shutoff and a hose bib on a 
tee.  From there I ran 1 in. down to the center of the beds where I teed 
off to each bed where I put a hose bib.  I could use soaker hoses or drip 
lines as needed on each bed.
