Have you researched the best growing season and ideal crops for your local climate? Are you creating a community garden to help families create healthy food sources? Are you starting a shared garden to help instill a love of nature and a lifelong appreciation for gardening in school or community youth? If you answered yes to any of these questions, it’s time to start preparing your land, choosing your seeds and bulbs, and selecting corresponding plant stakes and markers for your garden.
Community gardens come in a variety of types including cooperative, neighborhood, and school gardens. A community garden is a plot of land where a number of people create gardens to grow food or flowers. They can be used to create food sources or to create beauty. When you’re planning for and equipping your community garden, you gather all the gardening tools you’re likely to need. Each gardener will want trowels, rakes, hoes, spades, forks, and water hoses or watering cans. While you’re buying the tools you need, don’t forget the most important tool of all – garden markers.
Take the guesswork out of community gardening and limit confusion and frustration with our colorful, vintage-inspired garden markers. Some of the identification and organizational benefits and uses of community garden plant markers include:
At MYDPRINT, our plant markers are available individually or in plant groups. Our plant markers are always in stock and ready to ship. They’re large enough to make reading them easy and colorful enough to add to their appeal and visibility. They also add a touch of color and a spark of interest to your garden.
Most community gardens contain a variety of crops and flowers because each individual planter identifies their own reason for participating in the gardening project, then chooses their own seeds, seedlings, and bulbs. When you create a single garden that houses different fruits, vegetables, and plants, it can be trying and challenging to keep each crop separated and readily identified. Plant markers make this step easy while also helping new and experienced gardeners avoid the hassle of accidentally overplanting a garden and of inadvertently planting incompatible plans too close together.
HOW WILL OUR COLORFUL GARDEN MARKERS ENHANCE YOUR COMMUNITY GARDEN?
Community gardening is good for everyone involved because it’s an environmentally friendly, self-paced, community endeavor with dual health benefits – clean food sources and outdoor exercise. It also teaches important life skills like cooperation, volunteerism, community advocacy, environmental awareness, and food planning and growth. That means your community garden is more than a source of food and plants – it’s also a source of community pride and education.
