Products we sell include IDeal™ stakes & nameplates (separately or in a bundle) sample kits, and e-gift cards. We also offer DecoColor paint pens for hand writing that are long-lasting in outdoor use.
On our sister site Idealengravings, we offer Printed Plant labels that are made to adhere to IDeal™ plastic nameplates and Custom Engraved Nameplates for plants.
We're located in and ship our products from Roseville, Minnesota which is between the Twin Cities of St. Paul and Minneapolis.
As of now, we sell garden markers differently than most vendors because we sell the stakes and nameplates separately, in packages of 10.
We offer six (6) different plastic nameplates, in 3 colors (black, gray, and green) and 2 sizes.
The stainless steel stakes that attach to the nameplates come in 4 lengths (7 in., 11 in., 20 in.) and 3 "viewing angles" (straight, 45°, and 90°.)
With this many options, it makes sense to sell stakes and nameplates separately- just don't forget to order both!
The IDeal™ Garden Marker is our plant identification marker, which is consists of 2 parts - a stainless steel stake and a plastic nameplate (each part sold separately) uniquely designed to create a secure fit but they are also interchangable. IDeal™ Garden Markers is also the name of our company.
At this time, you can only find IDeal™ Garden Markers on this website.

As of right now, we currently do not offer free shipping. We're still a small business that ships all of our products in house. So we cannot afford to offer free shipping at this point in time, but we do whatever we can to make sure the shipping rates for you are reasonable.
