8-Greats of the Right garden plant markers

#1 A Rose by any other name….what else are these called?

• Plant marker
• Garden marker
• Plant label
• Garden stake
  

#2 What’s in the toiled soil?

Basically, if you don’t have a plant marker….you may not know what is sprouting from your toiled soil!
You put so much sweat equity – literally, in your garden, make sure you can identify what is where. It’s important to know where plants are located in your garden so you can – pick weeds (and not good stuff), water & fertilize properly, space out plants per specifications – basically-be a good gardener.

#3 Durable for this season and the next, next, next

You certainly want your markers to last this season plus more.  If you love to garden and have future gardens-it’s nice when you have bought quality garden markers and don’t need to continually spend more money getting 1 season markers. So yes, markers can be made from other materials-but they won’t last the season. Wooden popsicle sticks, plastic sticks with paper labels absorb moisture, writing bleeds and they rot. Find quality steel garden labels.  Also powder coating-(learn about) -is better than rusty metal and painted metal. Powder coating is applied to the steel and cured in an industrial oven so it’s durable, rust free & colors stay vibrant.

#5 Visual and textual

Bright Colors – Fun Images – Bold Words – Large Size

Whether you are the sole gardener of the house or this is a family / kids garden, it’s great to have plant markers you can see.  A first, there’s just dirt – but soon the plants get taller and can obstruct the view of the markers.  Also these recommended garden markers come in bright vibrant colors.  Gardening is such a great shared activity for kids and the family.  For young children who cannot read yet it’s super exciting to be able to identify the plants based on the image. Also, by the end of the season they may have learned to read some new words!

#6 Size matters

Some markers are small and seem ok at the beginning when you only see markers in the dirt. Once your plants start to grow it is hard to find the small markers hiding under lush leafs and full blossoms. A large plant marker stands out so you can easily see what plant is coming – and in case you have a visitor and have forgotten what that green leaf is, it is nice to have a stand up label you can see.

#7 How not to look old and decrepit

Metal plant markers are a superior choice.  Metal will last forever whereas wood and plastic rot and colors fade.  The metal markers are strong, rust and corrosion resistant and will not wear with age. 
Save money:  Purchase 1 sign to last years instead of a yearly purchase.  Make sure the metal garden marker you purchase has a powder coat finish instead of no finish or paint.  Powder coating prohibits rust, colors stay vibrant and it provides waterproof protection.
