Get a bag full of salt and sprinkle in ample amounts on areas which are infested with ants.
It is not only simple ,natural but also harmless and will not cost much money.
A commercial dust called EIGHT.. is very successful for ants in the garden, and is labled for food.
Plant Marigolds around the garden! Ants dislike marigolds and will not go through them!
Feeding them salt kills the ants.
You could also plant peppermint! Ants dont like peppermint either!
Peppermint may get rid of the ants but it will take over the garden also. If you use peppermint get a car tire and bury it leaving about 1/2 a inch above ground. Plant your peppermint inside and the roots will just keep going around the inside of the tire.

I think the flower lady meant "sevin" dust
A line of Boric Acid around the perimeter of your garden, or across the path that the ants are taking will do the trick. It's non toxic to children and animals but deadly to hard shelled creatures. It loses it's effectiveness when wet so repeat for a few days and the ant problem should be taken care of.
