A lovely hanging label, cut in the shape of a heart from natural and authentic slate. It is both decorative and very useful, and can be used to write the names of young plants or to personalize a floral arrangement. The writing can be done with a chalk pen, a graphite pencil, or white paint. Handcrafted in France, it is sold individually.

This heart-shaped label combines an original design with the nobility of natural slate. Made using traditional methods in Brittany, this lovely model has been perforated to allow for the attachment of a string or label holder. Decorative and high-quality, it is also very useful for remembering the name of each plant in the garden, greenhouse, terrace, or for personalizing a floral arrangement to give as a gift.

 

Seed packets, as well as printed bands and labels provided when purchasing plants, often deteriorate quickly under the combined action of sunlight and rain, with the names of the plants becoming quickly illegible. However, these labels distributed by Comptoir Botanique, made of slate, withstand heat and the ravages of time. This heart-shaped model is a thin, smooth, and lustrous plate, varying in shades from gray to black, randomly traversed by lighter veins and spots. The name of the plant, any information, or message can be written on it using a simple chalk, chalk pen, graphite pencil, or white paint, before being put in place. It is then enough to pass a string through the hole provided for this purpose to hang it or to place it on a label holder that will be planted wisely. Natural slate is an ecological and environmentally friendly material, and its dust, chips, and gravel are used in soil amendments.

The company 'Comptoir Botanique', located in Locquenolé in northern Finistère, entrusts more than 80% of its production to ESAT (Establishments and Service for Assistance through Work), a collaboration it has been carrying out for several years.

Garden labels are very useful accessories that can also be elegant or charming to enhance plants and gardens. In the vegetable garden, it is essential, for example, to identify the sowings of lettuces, radishes, or carrots, as well as the varieties of melons or squashes. In the ornamental garden, some perennials or bulbs disappear underground for a good part of the year and may disappear under an unfortunate blow of a spade or pickaxe if they have not been marked. The collector of irises or grasses will appreciate remembering the names of the beautiful varieties they have planted. The enthusiast of rare plants for which there is no common name can, thanks to the label that comes to the aid of their memory, present to their amazed visitors the Latin name of their latest acquisition. Whether suspended in the garden, in a pot, a flower box, or in a basket of plants and flowers, the slate label always has its little effect. Finally, naming a plant is an excellent way to awaken children's interest in nature, in all its diversity.
