Default Raised beds for school gardening club

Hi, can anyone give any advice and help regarding making or buying
raised beds for school gardening club. We have very limited funds and
would like the cheapest option. Thanks for any suggestions





Is there a nearby Community Garden area where the club can rent a plot
or two? What age level are you dealing with? Is parental help available?

--There's no sense in reinventing the wheel if an established area is
available.

--It would save the trouble of dismantling it if they kids lose
interest. If the club disbands, you'd still be responsible.

--There might be less chance of vandalism to the garden if it is not on
school grounds.
