The least expensive is to dig a small trench between the yard and garden and use it as the border. I think I would look at using a pressure treated wood and sink it in the small trench then sturdy it with stakes. You need to decide what you want the look to me - a rustic wood or a finished block - that will guide you.
I think it depends on how high you want the border to be. If you're wanting to keep out the local "veggie-eaters" (rabbits) I would use stakes and chicken wire. Not very attractive but it works!
You'll be able to decide the best material for you. Here's an article with some inexpensive options to consider. Hope it helps you make your decision.

Invite your friends to collect good sized rocks. Offer a pizza party celebration when it’s done.
Treated 4x4's work well and last for years, just use rebar in predrilled holes, going into the ground a bit. How deep also can depend on how high you put the 4x4's stacked. For two high, we sunk them about a foot and a half. Make sure the predrilled holes match to avoid gaps when you stack them.
