In-ground Storm Cellar Decorating Idea

We had our storm cellar put in around Summer of 2016. I'm Choctaw, so we got it for free! We tried to spruce it up using layers of retaining blocks but it still didn't look right. The rains would come and just wash the sand and soil over the blocks and we were constantly having to sweep off the block. Sand is not easy to clean off after it rains.

So this Summer we decided to add some better soil and use metal landscaping edging to add two planting layers around the cellar. We dug around the circumference of the cellar and installed the edging.

It looks much better and easier to maintain.

Before, sad, lifeless and just plain ugly if we're being honest:
