Copper Plant Labels

If you use plastic ‘in the ground’ labels, mark them with a pencil instead of a pen. Pencil tags last far longer than ink tags, even longer than so-called permanent markers.

If you do have squirrels that like to play in your garden, consider using tie on tags, at least on your shrubs and trees. An elegant addition would be the copper tags available at Park’s Landscapes. They have stakes that are 10 inches long. That might be longer than the squirrels in your yard and since the stakes are not supposed to bend, a squirrel would be hard-pressed to pull one out.
