Planter Markers for Gardens are like little lifesavers for veggie and herb gardens, especially if you’re into cooking. You know, being able to tell your oregano from your thyme is a big deal in our kitchen. My husband’s always mixing them up. But now, with these markers, he’ll finally be able to gather the right herbs for his cooking projects.
I’ve experimented with copper and metal vegetable garden markers, but stumbling upon these ceramic ones has been a game-changer! What I love is the freedom to print any plant name or design on them and reuse them for other plants. Not to mention, they’re sturdy and versatile—smooth on one side for Sharpies and rough on the other for pencils.
I’ve always maintained an herb garden in our backyard, but recently I decided to add markers to help my family recognize the plants.
It’s a struggle for my son and husband to distinguish between different herbs. Whenever I send them out to gather some, I always find myself having to give detailed descriptions of the plants and where to find them.
Here’s a funny story about our herbs: My son, who loves cooking, once went to the grocery store to gather ingredients for a dinner he planned to prepare for the family. When he returned, he proudly announced that he had bought fresh, living Rosemary! It was hilarious because I had to gently remind him that we actually had hedges of rosemary growing in our garden! Needless to say, I don’t think he’ll ever mistake Rosemary again!
Now that I have the garden markers installed, I’m thrilled. I’m sure when my son visits, he’ll appreciate the addition to our yard.

How to Write on These Ceramic Garden Signs
Step 1 – Prep the Garden Markers
Clean off and dry any residue that might be on the markers.
Step 2 – Decide on Design/Use a Template (optional step)
I drew a little flourish of a cute vine on the top of my markers. But, if you like enjoy making a cute design.
Step 3 – Write with a Sharpie Marker
I opted for a fine-tip black Sharpie marker. To write out my words, I used a sticky note paper as a template and placed it on the marker to serve as both a guide and line template. Afterward, let it dry before placing it in the garden.
