Recycled Key Garden Markers
The Recycled Key Garden Markers are a creative and eco-friendly way to label your plants in the garden. Using old keys as plant markers, you can add a touch of whimsy and personality to your garden beds. Simply attach a key to a wooden dowel or stake, and write the name of the plant on a small tag or label. The rustic, vintage look of the key will add character to your garden, while the durable material ensures that the marker will withstand the elements. This unique and sustainable idea is perfect for gardeners who want to add a personal touch to their outdoor space.

How To Make Recycled Key Garden Markers
To make these plant markers, I used white spray paint with a satin finish. I used an old shower curtain to protect the grass and laid all the keys out. I sprayed them on one side and let them dry, then flipped them over and did the other side.
To decide what to write on each key, I traced each one’s shape onto paper first. Then I drew out the herb names to see what fit best on each key.
When I was ready, I used colored Sharpie’s to add the words and designs.
Have fun with different colors and designs on each key!
Cute, right?!
