Give Your Garden a Lift With Garden Markers

Garden Markers Help Your Gardens Grow Vertical

We may tend to think of gardens as vertical designs. Shall we make the garden a traditional rectangle, square or circle, or let the edges weave like ripples in water or curve like a bean? But think of height, also, as you design your gardens. You can achieve interesting aspects of height in multiple ways in your garden. From small garden markers to huge garden sheds, structures among your plants can offer you some eye-pleasing variety in your yard.

At Kincaid Plant Markers, we offer three different post heights in 10”, 15” and 20 inches. This variety offers you the opportunity to add a little height to your garden and use posts that complement the plants they are representing. You might like your posts to stay lower to the ground or you might like them to add depth and elevation to your garden plants.

Decorative pillars can serve as cornerstone posts in your plots or be spaced within the garden like pawns on a chessboard or different heights of skyscrapers in a city. Statues, bird baths or large and tall vases for plants can help add height to your garden. Iron or wooden archways can lead visitors from one garden to another in your yard. You can emphasize the design and art of the structure by keeping it free of plant growth or you can blend it with greenery such as ivy, clematis, wisteria or other lush vegetation could cover it.

Adding fencing around your garden is another technique to give it some height. Wire or iron fences can be just transparent enough so that your plants don’t look too confined. The larger spaces in those fences offers some transparency from garden to garden and garden to yard. White picket fences or even solid wooden fences offer more of a confined height space and cut a yard up into neat little sections. Height can be neat or it can be completely random like the notes on a musical scale moving across the page, up and down.

One other way to add height to your yard is through larger structures like sheds. Tool sheds, playhouses, play sets, porch swings and tree houses can all add some ups to your yard while offering you useful places to store your equipment or places for your children to play among your garden.

The height you add to your yard doesn’t have to cost you a fortune. You don’t need the most ornate Grecian pillar or garden markers to make your garden feel sculpture-esque. Craftsmen can cleverly construct heightened sculpture from items like old bed headboards, fireplace screens and other re-used materials. Imagine the possibilities and stretch that right side of your brain.

At Kincaid Plant Markers, we are craftsmen and fellow gardeners. We hope that the craftsmanship and creativity of our garden markers can give your garden a lift this year!
