If you're aiming for practicality over image, plain row markers should do the trick. You can purchase these inexpensive markers at any gardening store or online venue, or you can make them yourself from ice lolly sticks. Simply place them at the end of each row of seeds, and label them with the appropriate vegetable or flower. |
If you're planting different species of flowers or varieties of veggie right next to each other, you may want to pick up some inexpensive plant tags or create your own. With a hole punch and label maker, you can create professional looking plant tags to help you keep track of all the flora and fauna growing in your garden. Consider laminating the tags so they stand up to watering and inclement weather. |
If you're a really serious gardener with a wide variety of plant life to categorize, you may want to invest in metal plaques to keep track of all your vegetation. Many stores specialize in personalized garden plaques (aka The Smith Family Garden), and these products are often made of copper, iron or steel. Some plaques lay firmly in the ground, while others are mounted on pegs and can be tilted in several directions for the best viewing angle. |
These plant tags are durable and attractive, especially when placed in matching pots. Often used in herb gardens, terra cotta plant tags can come engraved with the names of popular herbs and spices. You can also buy blank terra cotta tags and use a permanent marker to write the name of your specific plant. |
