DIY “Do it Yourself” Garden Labels-Plant Tags-Garden Signs


Plant Labels, Plant Tags, Plant Markers, Garden Signs:

Latin and Common Name Labels

Do It Yourself- Look around and see if you can find rocks, bottles, flagstone pieces, bricks and anything else that can be used to recycle for creating Garden Plant Labels. I use various colors of spray paint and glossy paint for a base coat and then top it off with clear furniture varnish to protect them from sun and water exposure.  The Latin names of plants are fun too as a mix in-between the regular “tomato” and “pea” signs.

Metal Alphabet Stamps

Alphabet metal stamps are a great tool for stamping out garden labels. Painting over it makes the letters easier to read.

Previously used as a salad dressing bottle: now a tomato label.

Typical Plant Marker painted over with Bright Green Paint.

Painted Rock

A previously used Paint-Stir-Stick from Home Depot repainted and labeled.

Recycled Brick with Red Spray Paint and Hand Painted White Labeling.

Garden decoration from Ikea that I bought for $1.00 a few summers ago made a unique label for my Plumerias
