Rock garden markers, well…rock. You can pretty much always find rocks for free, they never blow away in the wind, and they add a lot of color to your garden. Oh, and the best part is that you don’t really have to be very artsy to make them look awesome.
You’ll Need:
- Larger Flat Rocks {pretty easy to scavenge at construction sites, river beds, hikes, etc.}
- Paint
- Paint Brushes
- Clear Coat {to make sure that watering your plants doesn’t also water the color right off of your rocks}
Directions:
These are pretty basic. Paint your rock, or leave them rock colored and just paint the name of the plant on the rock. You can add pictures, polka-dots…whatever floats your boat. Allow them to dry. Apply a clear coat over the top of the painted rock to seal the paint.
Place them next to the plant, and walk away. It just doesn’t get easier than that 🙂

Great in theory but these would just be too tempting for my kiddos to play with. I can’t even get them to leave the soaker and drip hoses alone. I can see these getting thrown in a window! 😛
