Transform Your Backyard into a Botanic Garden With Classical Garden Marker Beauty

Strolling through a large or small botanic garden is comforting. Lush layers of light and dark greens softly embrace you like a down comforter. Your eyes and head relax and your heart rate slows and steadies in the quiet retreat. Songbirds are drawn in to the peaceful diverse habitat and add music among the garden’s bluebells and trumpet vine. While many cities across the country offer the public beautiful botanic gardens, you can create one in your own backyard.

What is the lure of botanic gardens? The peacefulness and beauty are attractive, of course, but also a longing to learn more about plants– new varieties and ideas that you can use in your own garden. The lure is also knowledge– knowledge to identify multiple varieties, to see relationships among different plants and to pass that knowledge onto others who love plants. Without a classical garden marker a plant is beautiful for the moment, but then forgotten. A classical garden marker can give it a name—something that admirers can record for later use.

Plant markers educate, inform and help interpret the plants that we love to our friends and visitors. To some, their plants are like children. Each plant receives its proper nutrients, hydration and type of sun exposure. Names also give singular recognition for those things we love, so it’s no wonder that plant name labels are important parts of some well-loved gardens.

While it’s nice to stroll through your garden telling your guests the names of all of your flowers, it’s nice to have a classical garden marker there for them to read as you say it, for them to re-read after you move along to talk to other guests, for those guests who look but don’t ask questions aloud and to help those visual learners and photographic memory people remember the plant name better as they see the letters before them.

We love to hear stories like the one from Linda Walsh Lapinski who found our markers dependable and essential after other company’s markers had failed in their garden. After she and her husband had carefully labeled all of their varieties of day lilies, one winter season obliterated the print on the markers and even destroyed some.

She loves botanical gardens and home gardens that have their plants identified. She must know the names of the plants that she passes. Plants without identification markers leave an emptiness in such lush green worlds. A classical garden marker gives her the opportunity to learn about yet one more flower, shrub or ornamental tree she could add to her own backyard botanical world.

We at Kincaid Plant Markers would love to help you create a botanical landscape in your backyard with a classical garden marker that is dependable, weather-resistant, and showcases all your hard work and joy in gardening.
