Thrifty Gardening Ideas: Plant Stakes






Dear readers,

It has been gorgeous outside these last few days.  As I prepare to plant my leeks, peas, kale, and chard this weekend, I thought it was an excellent time to share some of the thrifty gardening projects I have been reading the last few months.  I have been reading a LOT, so look for more gardening posts in the upcoming months.  Today’s post features some ideas for creative garden stakes.

Turn Vinyl Blinds into Plant Markers!

Do you have a set of old blinds hanging around?  Don’t throw them away!  Crafting a Green World shared this great idea: cut them up and they make fantastic, durable garden markers.  Easy as pie!

Chalk it up!

Design*Sponge featured a great project on how to make chalk garden stakes – they might not be practical for your outdoor garden (hi rain!), but they are great for indoor container gardens and a great project for kids.

Fancy Garden Markers

If you are looking for a gift for a gardening friend, these ceramic markers are very sweet and would work well for container gardens or potted herbs.

  1. Here is another suggestion for garden markers. Buy a group of silverware from Goodwill (prices range from $.99 cents to $2.99 for a bundle) and engrave them …. sage…parsley…..chives etc. Very stylish.

  2. Great idea, Sherrie, thanks for sharing it!
