If you plant herbs {or any other edibles} right into your garden beds, these brick garden markers make an awesome addition to the overall look of your beds {and they are, of course, totally functional}.
You’ll Need:
- Bricks {super cheap at Home Depot}
- A sharpie
- Pencil
- 5 minutes
Directions:
Using a pencil, sketch out the name of your plant {this will allow you to play with the size and safeguard you against any mistakes}. Try to take up as much of the brick as possible–they look better that way. Go over the penciled letters with the sharpie, once you are satisfied with the lettering, placement, and size.
Set the bricks in the beds along side the plant. Cute, easy, done.

Hi Mavis ~
I really like the idea of using bricks as garden markers … marking my plants (veggies, flowers, herbs, etc.) has always been a dilemma for me … I like things to look natural and the brick idea is natural and a low-keyed conversation piece.

I love this idea! I have 50 year old bricks I inherited when I bought this old house. Its perfect!
