If you're like me and hate store bought garden markers, this is a fantastic way to mesh your love of gardening with a nautical feel.

Take an old (or new) wooden stake and paint or stain to suit.  Glue one 2" or 3" shell at the top of the stake and don't forget to paint (using stencils or freehand) your plant names.

The longer they are worn by the weather, the better they look!
