Garden Bangles

Last year's Mother's Day gifts included these cool garden markers.

The black resin stakes came with a white grease pen to label ... anything! 

(... why not keep a pie bird in the greenhouse?)

Garden markers are the bangle bracelets of the flower bed, 

the bejeweled pinky rings of the veggie patch. 

Not at all necessary, but an oh-so-cool addition.

The sort you have speaks to what kind of gardener you are.

Some of us (ahem ... me) go with utilitarian methods 

of labeling in the garden: this, those, and (ugh) these.

I've even just re-used plant inserts, marking over the print with a fat Sharpie.

But ... with any Pinterest-y craft ability or Etsy cash flow, 

you could have this, those, or (ah!)these.
