By golly, there may even be a photo on there to help you match the tag with the plant when their identity comes into question! Now for some people, that idea just may work, but others may want something a bit more decorative or unique to add to their space. |

Rocks Using paint and pens, you can transform some ordinary stones into super cool markers that totally rock! You can stencil plant names or paint what you have planted, like peas or corn, on the rock. Shoot, you could even use some glow in the dark paint for late night garden appeal. |

Knick Knacks Use your sea shell collection and decoupage names or pictures on them. Finally get rid of the tiny farm animal or dinosaur toys your kids forgot about to hold a label you just made out of the empty milk jug.
