Blurring the Lines Between Indoors and Out Indoor Gardening Series #3 Plant Markers

Blurring the Lines Between Indoors and Out Indoor Gardening Series #3
Plant Markers

Such a lovely day it has been, enjoying nature, finding the perfect fallen twigs for today’s project:


These adorable plant markers can be placed upright in the soil or just near the plants you wish to identify

*NOTE: When selecting the perfect little twigs, do not under any circumstances steal food from a beaver or a walking cane from the friendly garden gnomes

To get started on this quick little gem we shall begin by finding a few fallen twigs:

I like to select twigs about a half inch in diameter and 8-9 inches long.

Next, using a knife, remove a small area of bark to be used as the writing surface, if you would like, sand this area smooth.

Finally, whittle down the tip of the plant marker (opposite end of the writing surface) to a dull point to allow for easier insertion into your pots or garden plot.  

And very much so lastly, write the name of the plant on the marker, place, and enjoy!

I love bringing more bits of nature into my indoor garden to really make it feel homey to my little seedlings. If you would like to see any specific tutorials please comment below and I will do my best to create one for you!

As always, keep your tea seeped, and a smile upon your face.

Cheers.
