Painted Rocks Garden Markers

A local urban farm has an annual plant sale and craft show every April, and I will be having a booth. I’ve seen the painted rocks used as garden markers on Pinterest and have wanted to make some. I think they will be great for my garden show booth. I found a few beside an old shed, but will need to buy some more before the show. I can always practice with these.

Wash Rocks for Painted Rock Garden MarkersFirst, wash the rocks to remove all dirt.

Supplies for painted rock garden markers www.Gardenchick.com

Gather all your supplies.  I am using the patio paint since these will be used outdoors.  The glass marker will also hold up outside.  You can also paint the words on, but I am better at using a pen, it’s easier to control.

Painted rock garden markers. Different colors.You don’t have to paint your rocks according to the color of the plant or vegetable you are going to identify. But, when I was thinking about what was to planted in my garden in April, I chose purple for eggplant, green for bell peppers, red for tomatoes, and the yellow will be in a bucket with my thyme.  Red could have geraniums painted on it, lavender on purple etc .

Once dry, I wrote the names on.  With the end of the paint brush, I made little dots in the shape of a flower to dress them up a bit.
