Hanging tag made of chestnut wood

These chestnut wood labels are very useful for remembering the names of plants. Perforated, they can be attached with a simple string, directly to the branches and stems of plants, or to the handles of pots and containers on the terrace. The name of an orchid variety, an aromatic plant, a rare bush... nothing will escape your memory once you have written down everything that should not be forgotten.

Handcrafted in Brittany with chestnut wood grown in France, these rectangular labels measure 15cm (6in) in length and 3cm (1in) in width. Chestnut wood is known for its durability, meaning it is highly resistant to parasites such as drywood termites, fungi, and insects. Thanks to its tannic acid, it requires no maintenance or treatment. It has an exceptional lifespan in the garden. Both elegant and useful, it will age gracefully over time. You can use it to write the names of plants in the garden, using a white chalk marker or coloured marker.

Seed packets, as well as printed bands and labels that are provided when purchasing plants, often deteriorate quickly under the combined action of sun and rain, with the names of the plants becoming quickly illegible. On the other hand, these labels, made of wood, withstand the test of time better. Each one measures 15cm (6in) in length and 3cm (1in) in width and is in the form of a long and narrow rectangle, perforated at one end to allow for the passage of an attachment string. The name of the plant or any information can be written on it using an indelible marker before being put in place.

Garden labels are very useful accessories that every gardener will appreciate. In ornamental gardens, some perennials or bulbs disappear underground for a good part of the year, and they may risk being accidentally dug up or hit with a pickaxe if they have not been marked. The collector of indoor plants or orchids will appreciate being able to remember 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, proudly present to their amazed visitors the Latin name of their latest acquisition. Chestnut wood labels also bring a natural and decorative touch. Lastly, naming a plant is an excellent way to awaken children's interest in nature, in all its diversity.
