Gardening is so much fun. Starting off with seeds and seedlings, then helping and watching them grow and thrive is one of the greatest pleasures of life. But if you have a lot of plants under your care and you’re not yet sure which is which (don’t worry, it happens!), putting plant labels and markers would help you familiarize with your plants easily.
There’s no need to buy anything. You can use whatever materials you already have and make your own plant labels and markers using recycled materials. It’s more fun and cheaper too. Here are 25 awesome creative ideas to get you started.
