Earthmarks Herb Garden Markers
Oregon landscape designer, Vicki Antelope Bear, created these garden markers for her own garden because she couldn't find exactly what she wanted anywhere else. The markers needed to be beautiful garden accents, yet durable enough to withstand weather and temperature extremes. Starting from scratch, Vicki set out to create garden markers that suited her requirements.
After several months of testing various clay bodies, underglazes, patinas, materials for the stakes etc., Vicki and her husband, Jackson Hawk, created a garden marker that they were proud of. It was made of high-fired stoneware in an attractive terra cotta color, the names were impressed into the clay and after an initial firing in a kiln, the lettering was underglazed and a soft verdigris patina was applied, then they were fired again.
Quite pleased with their creation, Vicki and Jackson showed them off to their friends and neighbors. When several people wanted to purchase them for their own gardens, a home business was born.
Jackson undertook a year-long durability test which put some strain on our marriage, but apparently no strain on the garden marker being tested. You can read about it here.
The first time Earthmarks garden markers were offered for sale to the general public was in 1992 at the Growers and Crafters Market in Grants Pass, OR. At that time you could choose from 31 different herb markers.
You can now choose from over 400 round garden markers for marking herbs, annuals, perennials, fruits, veggies, and whimsical names. The latest additions to our list are Patty Pan Squash, Heirloom Tomato, Pole Bean, Pesto Basil, Mammoth Basil, and Small Leaf Basil, all added on 7/10/2010. There are also about 100 additional names on our limited supply list).
Made in USA. Each garden marker is handcrafted in our shop situated on 5 beautiful acres of woodland forest in Rogue River, Oregon.
Earthmarks garden markers are unconditionally guaranteed, so you can buy with complete confidence.
Thank you for visiting our website. We hope you enjoy it.
Be Joyful,
Claude and Maya (younger, goofier alter egos of Jackson and Vicki)
