Using rocks as a way to label garden beds :)

[Gaz]

I am working with my daughter (6) to develop a fun vegetable garden. As part of the process we decided to label the garden beds using rocks we had collected. They really look fabulous - and adds a sense of order to our vegetable plots.

Here are how we did it : http://www.almostafarmer.com/rock-garden-bed-labels-how-to-make-your-own/

Our other beds use a a special water proof paper system....I will write some more about that later...but for pure fun, these look great!

Cute garden markers! Children will enjoy making them and 'reading' them in the garden. That's a great activity.

Thanks - sorry the image is so big (I am on a learning curve with the forum)...

You can download the 'pattern cartoons' from the blog if you are not very artistic (like me)

Gypsy and I have painted rock-insects and rock-frogs to 'help' in the garden, but these labels are actually useful.

Very cute! What a fun garden project.

Don't apologize for big pictures. I like em' big.
Maybe it's my small screen and bad eyesight, but bigger is better!

I agree with Thistle, bigger is better!
