I love making gifts for gardeners.
I love collecting seeds from my own garden and passing them along as gifts.
I love gardens, gardening and fellow gardeners!
‘Tis the season!
Can a gardener ever have too many garden markers? I think not. So, these make the perfect gardening gift.
I found this cool and crafty idea at Artsy VaVa and pinned it right away this summer. I found some cheap forks on Amazon (36 for $14), went to my overflowing bowl of wine corks in the kitchen and started making these great markers.
I had such a hard time finding Holy Thai Basil, that I harvested seeds to give as gifts along with my markers. I used a Sharpie to letter my corks. Artsy VaVa actually used a wood burner and hers looks so much nicer than mine.
I used The Hubs vise and flattened my forks as much as possible.
Hopefully my giftee will have lots of Holy Thai Basil growing (and well marked) in her garden next summer.

Love this! Great idea – Pinterest is a marvelous thing!
I am going to make at least 36 of these. May need more corks! 🙂

Thanks, Uru. Can’t take credit for this though.
A fantastic idea, Debra. I usually stick the wine cork in a bamboo stick…but using fork is definitely more fun!
I like your idea, too.
Great idea. I had such a problem in my garden this summer with my squashes and pumpkins because I never label anything!
I am terrible about labeling too.
This is one of the coolest Christmas gifts ever! I love it. And you make it so personal giving out the packet of seeds. Very cool, gotta pin it and tweet it!
Thanks, Tina. The nephews ans I are going to try to make lots of these tomorrow.
What a great idea! I have the perfect gardener in mind for these! Thanks!! Happy Thanksgiving!
Cool! I hope your gardener friend likes this!
Terrific idea! We know someone who is both an avid gardener and a wine lover. Need I say more? 😉 Happy Thanksgiving!
That’s great. I honestly hadn’t thought about the wine lovers.
This is a great idea for gardeners and not only!
Thanks, Katerina.
