icon-img-rev_plantmarker-label_400px[1]Edible, fragrant, beautiful and versatile are herbs. Each plant makes its own impression on your taste buds and sense of smell. The relaxing scent of lavender. The nose-tickling fragrance of mint. The spicy taste of cilantro. All of these herbs and more create their own thematic gardens in your yard. With so many leafy combination possibilities in your yard, you may want to use some labels for herbs in your gardens.

Do you like natural medicine, fragrant homemade soups, stews and sauces, or do you like aromatic non-caffeine refreshments? If any of these sound refreshing to you, then you are probably an herb person. Herbs are used in so many ways including cooking, tea and medicine.

If you have a small yard, you may not have a lot of choices of where to plant your herbs. You may have to mix them with your other perennials in flower beds and hope that other plant leaves don’t compete too much with your little-leafed herbs. But certain herbs thrive in sun or shade or wet or dry spaces and these preferences need to be addressed before they are planted.

Herbs can be planted in some very unique theme plantings. A Tuscan garden may include oregano, basil, parsley and garlic. If you are more of a French cuisine person you may have a culinary herb garden of rosemary, marjoram and thyme. Either way, your garden has a culinary theme where you can snip and smash and pluck leaves from their stems minutes before chopping them and releasing their fragrance or leaving them whole as a garnish on a plate.

You may be more interested in growing herbs for medicinal purposes. In the medicinal herb garden you may find fenugreek, eucalyptus, and chamomile. Natural herbal medicines don’t have side effects and don’t cost anything but a little time in experimenting with the right recipes for good health.

If you are not a coffee drinker, then you might prefer tea to help you get through the day. An herbal tea garden would have labels for herbs like mint, chamomile, or lemongrass. You can grow and dry tea leaves to use throughout the year. You know that the herbs grown in your yard are grown under your own gardening practices and not someone else’s.

We at Kincaid Plant Markers can help you create labels for herbs that are just right for your taste. We can help you find your herbs with nameplates or we can make customized plates that bring out your creative and witty side. Oregano can be “Oregano” or it can be “Mom’s Spaghetti Sauce Partner.” Whatever your favorite label, we can make it just the way you like it—no stove necessary.

  1. An Herb Garden Label Inspires Research in Your Outdoor Classroom | Kincaid Plant Markers

    […] Gardens are springing up all over the country in backyards and schoolyards. Hobbyists, cooks and educators are pushing seeds into the soft earth and gently patting nutritious soil around roots. Many schools are planning their outdoor classrooms, gardens that will be planted during the spring school year, tended over the summer and harvested during the following school year in late summer. One joy of herbs in the classroom is that they can be harvested all throughout the growing season. They may be the first plant children can harvest and the first one they can research with the help of an herb garden label. […]
