6X12 bare area - ideas for tight $$

12 years ago

I am a teacher and in two weeks I need to get a garden bed presentable for an open house before school begins. We usually use this area as a vegetable garden, but the grounds crew pulled out EVERYTHING(mulch, lirope border, etc.) leaving only bare ground!

I need a temporary "display" because the area will be planted by students in late September. I suggested a bird bath or wire sculptures from Big Lots to fill the space to the principal. She says we are on a tight budget so don't spend much.

Do you have any ideas? The soil has already been amended, the garden is irrigated and it gets 6 hours of sun daily.

Thanks so much in advance.
