Powell River Garden Club member, Claudia, has passed on our first garden tip of 2013! She suggests recycling your old mini blinds by
cutting them up into 6" plant markers. Cut one end to a point and then
write the plant name on the tag. You can also cut them up into 3” rectangular
markers and then put a hole in one end with a hole punch and tie them to a
branch. Use a soft HB Pencil or a China Marker. Do not use a permanent felt pen
as the sun just fades the ink and then you can't read what you've written by
the end of the summer. This is an ideal winter project as you won't have time
in the summer to patiently cut all these blinds up.
