Let’s face it- most gardeners don’t actually need to use some sort of garden markers or plant labels in their garden. They know what they planted and plant tags seem a little unnecessary. But, there are tons of upcycling crafts for various garden markers and they look AWFULLY cute in your garden!
I’m here to tell you that it doesn’t matter.
Whether you’re a novice or a Master Gardener, garden markers and herb labels are fun to make, add character to your beds, and cause no harm. So why not make some?
You may recall that I upcycled some wooden shoe trees into plant labels, and they add so much charm to my herb garden!

Most herb plants or vegetable plants are pretty green, without much color. But plant labels like these add bright pops of color which I happen to adore.
I’ve also upcycled some thrifted fondue forks as garden markers. They’re custom-made for this upcycle, aren’t they?

Whichever upcycled garden ideas for garden markers you go with, just remember that it will need to be able to get wet- either from rain or your garden hose! Other than that, the sky is truly the limit!
