A garden marker with features of convenience for a gardener.

A multi-functional tag for marking cultivated plants and agricultural product throughout the whole plant and product cycle.

A fastener device adapted for attaching at least one tag (or other identifier) to an object. The fastener device comprises a T-bar component, a paddle component, and a filament component flexibly attached to both the T-bar component on one end and the paddle component on the other end. In some embodiments, the fastener device is deployable via a fastener dispensing device comprising a needle designed to puncture a hole in at least one tag and the object while also inserting the T-bar component through the hole. Once inserted, the paddle component exerts a cantilever spring force against at least one tag holding the tag(s) securely against the object.

A card holder floral pick defining an elongate hollow tube having opposed top and bottom ends and openings adapted to provide a funneling function, for funneling any liquid introduced into the tube at the top end out the bottom end under the influence of gravity, with two substantially identical slots at the top end of the tube that are angularly spaced-apart from each other about an elongate axis of the tub, for holding an enclosure card.

A unitary sheet-like article has a material sheet including a first edge and an elastic sheet including an aperture and a second edge. The material sheet and the elastic sheet overlap at an overlap portion defined between the first and second edges. The material sheet and the elastic sheet are bonded together at the overlap portion. The aperture of the elastic sheet is not located on the overlap portion.

A gripping element for a data carrier, e.g. a label, for vegetables, fruits, and indoor plants can be used to attach information to vegetables (e.g. vine tomatoes), fruits and indoor plants, among others. The data carrier may be a three-dimensional gripping element obtained from folding and gluing a piece of punched or cut paper, cardboard, or other thin material.

A disclosed plant identification (PID) pin includes a push pin flat stock base having a central ratchet defining a hole for a pin and defining a screen for an identification number. A knob includes a pointer and defines an opening coincident with the flat stock base hole and configured complementary to the central ratchet. A partial disk rotates around the pin and includes an identification number (IDN) on a face thereof and a boss coincident with the flat stock base hole. Additionally, a pin is designed to push through the flat stock base, the boss of the partial disk and into a tree and anchor the push pin into a woody stock of a plant. A passive electronic identification circuit with the identification number responds to GPS location queries. A seal on the flat stock base is broken via the pin to initiate the IDN for a certain woody plant.

A plant label has a substrate and a permanent adhesive layer on a release liner. An identifier portion of the substrate and a tag portion of the substrate are defined by a detach line that enables the tag portion to be detached from the identifier portion. The tag portion has an adhesive deadener on the permanent adhesive layer, a strip of the permanent adhesive layer of the detachable portion free of adhesive deadener, and a tab having only adhesive deadener on the permanent adhesive layer that enables the tag portion to be detached from the identifier portion and from a container to which the label is affixed.

Once inserted, the paddle component exerts a cantilever spring force against at least one tag holding the tag(s) securely against the object.

A plant stake and display tag holder for use with a nursery container such as a pot or free-standing planter. The display tag is attached to the container and is accessible and visible to the consumer without obstruction from the container or plant contained therein. The bottom of the plant stake inserts into a slit in the rim portion of a nursery container and locks into place to hold the plant stake upright and securely in place. The display tag is held above the soil line and avoids the common problems associated with display tag holders inserted below the soil line.
