Anne of Green Gables: A Well-Marked Herb Garden

Pin It

"Do you remember that evening we first met, Diana, 

and ‘swore’ eternal friendship in your garden?"  

~ Anne of Avonlea

For years I've had a spot of dirt that was aching to be loved by something other than weeds and the offending dog.  I decided that I would channel my inner gardener and create an herb garden.  After spending all of my money on necessities like irrigation, mulch, plants, and cute gardening gloves, I stood back to admire my work.  

Instead of savoring the aromas of lemon thyme and pineapple sage that wafted from my garden, I frowned.  What my little spot of paradise needed was a set of lovely garden markers, but my budget was gone.  As they say, necessity is the mother of invention.  I looked around at the pile of stones I had pulled from the garden and thought how perfect they would look in my garden with a little facelift.  (Then again, the same could be said of me . . . )

First, I took some acrylic paint and gave two coats to each rock.  

Then, with sharpie in hand, I simply wrote the names of each of my herbs on each rock and embellished it a bit.

I nestled my little markers in the garden dirt, and neither the rocks nor I have ever been happier.
