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

Based on the situation, garden plaques have a range 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 blurbs one finds at museums are also ID plaques, although these are not in reality 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 mainly treated like gardens). Decorative plaques, as those seen in a garden, would be markers with flowers painted on them to contribute flare to the scene.

Garden plaques can be made in a range of shapes and sizes, depending on the length of the message and the degree of ornamentation included 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 ground 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 images, 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 style 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 package having a 101-to-250 quantity.

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

For those interested, 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 in style!

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