Simple and fun to make, garden plant markers remind you which seeds you have planted where. And they are ideal for introducing your little ones to the fun of gardening.

  • Old wooden or plastic spoons
  • Other old cutlery items
  • Ice-block sticks
  • Driftwood
  • Stones
  • Pegs & Sticks
• Felt tip pen – permanent marker
• Paints - water resistant

Instructions

• Draw your design and plant name in pencil on to the wood or stone that you have chosen.
• Once you're satisfied with your design, use the felt tip pen to write the plant name. 
• Finally use paint to decorate where you've placed your pencil markings.
• When the paint is dry place your plant identifier object in the garden where you have planted your seeds.
