Plant markers
Dorothy Biddle Service
Garden Mark-It Plant Markers from Dorothy Biddle Service are perfect for containers or for use around the garden These 7-inch markers are made with recycled plastic (mostly old milk bottles) and are crafted so there’s plenty of room to write on them. A grease pencil or permanent marker should last about a year on these, and they can be cleaned with rubbing alcohol so the marker can be used over and over again.
