Chestnut diamond-shaped 9.5 x 9.5 cm hanging label

This plant label is handcrafted in Brittany using natural chestnut wood. This diamond-shaped model has a hole at one corner to attach a tie or label holder. Decorative and useful, it helps you remember the name of each plant in the garden, greenhouse, terrace, or vegetable garden, while adding a touch of elegance to the plantings.

Seed packets, as well as printed bands and labels provided when purchasing plants, often deteriorate quickly under the combined action of sun and rain, with the names of the plants becoming quickly illegible. These labels distributed by Comptoir Botanique, made of chestnut wood known for its hardness and natural resistance to wood-boring insects, withstand heat and bad weather better. This model measures 9.5 x 9.5 cm and is a thin brown wooden plaque randomly traversed by darker veins. The name of the plant, any information, or message can be written on it using a marker or graphite pencil before installation. Then, simply pass a thread through the provided hole to hang it or place it on a beautiful metal or bamboo label holder. Chestnut wood is an environmentally friendly, compostable material.

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 conducting 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 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 be destroyed 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 he has planted. The enthusiast of rare plants for which there is no common name can use the label to jog his memory and present the Latin name of his latest acquisition to visitors. Whether suspended in the garden, in a pot, a flower box, or in a basket of plants and flowers, a natural wooden label is always effective. Finally, naming a plant is an excellent way to awaken children's interest in nature, in all its diversity.
