Garden plaques are tablets, usually made out of wood and either hung up, appended to a vertical surface like a wall, or posted like a sign out of the floor. Garden plaques can either be short or very long, and poetic, informative, or both.

Based on the situation, garden plaques have an array of functions: identification, commemoration, or decorative. An example of an ID plaque would be a family marker, such as The Smiths, to accompany an address or erected out front of home.

The short mentions one finds at museums are also ID plaques, although these are not really garden plaques. Commemorative plaques, though, are more many. A headstone and historical marker are examples of this (garden plaques need not only be made of wood.

Headstones are found in cemeteries, which are mostly treated like gardens). Decorative plaques, as those seen in a garden, would be markers with flowers painted on them to add flare to the scene.

Garden plaques can be made in a range of shapes and sizes, depending on the extent of the message and the degree of ornamentation integrated on them. The aforementioned headstone would have the deceases name, dates, possible quote, and even the addition of angelic iconography.

These stones would naturally be bigger than a headstone inserted in the floor and bearing only a name and dates. Some headstones are round while others are rectangular, square, or cross-shaped. Family markers are the same way.

Garden plaques can even be in the form of 3-dimensional pictures, such as animals, mythical or cultural designs, cosmological bodies (moon, sun, stars, etc.), or everyday items, like hearts, ribbons, books, even cars. When it comes to the possible type of garden plaques, the imagination is the limit!

Garden plaques come in an array of prices. Plaquemaker.com offers plaques starting at $14.00 for one. The more plaques bought, the cheaper each plaque is. $4.00 is the cheapest for one in a box having a 101-to-250 quantity.

A variety of garden plaques offered here, with mentions made in at least ten different possible colors, have designs that are based on the customers personalized choice.

For those eager, these are fun to have and to look at. They spice up the garden, the residence, or wherever they are placed. Garden plaques are memorable and always en vogue!

Garden Plaques have an incredible ability to "take you there", whether it's a fairy tale, or a sense of calm, these items certainly have a spirit all unto themselves!
