Whether you're labelling plant pots, seed trays, garden tools, or greenhouse fixtures, the Garland Waterproof Garden Marker is a must-have in every grower’s toolkit. Available in black or white ink, these dependable pens are designed to create clear, long-lasting marks on a wide range of surfaces including plastic, timber, rubber, steel, and more.
Unlike standard markers that can smudge, run, or fade outdoors, Garland’s garden marker pens are alcohol-based and specially formulated to be waterproof and fade-resistant, making them ideal for the changing conditions of UK gardens and allotments. Whether you're writing directly on labels or on pots and containers, your writing will stay crisp and legible through watering, sun exposure, and daily handling.
The black marker is perfect for white or light-coloured plant labels and surfaces, while the white marker stands out beautifully on black, green, or darker pots and tags – especially useful in greenhouses or shaded areas where visibility matters most.
Each pen features a fine bullet tip, giving you control and precision when writing on small or uneven surfaces. From sowing dates and plant varieties to reminders and crop names, these pens help you stay organised and efficient throughout the growing season.
To ensure longevity, always replace the cap firmly after use – this prevents the alcohol-based ink from drying out and keeps your pen ready for action at all times.
