Abstract: A plant or garden marker comprising a stake element preferably of plastic material having a stem or shank portion with a sharp point at one end thereof and an enlarged planar mounting surface at the opposite end thereof. An identification member such as a decal is removably applied to the mounting surface and serves to identify plants by means of graphic information or indicia or both. The identification member also can be a sheet element provided with pressure sensitive adhesive. The mounting surface is outlined by a rib-like formation which outlines the location of the identification member. Various identification members can be purchased separately according to different varieties of plants the user intends to grow, and a selected member is affixed to a stake element which then is driven by hand into the ground adjacent the plant or plants to be identified. The same stake element can be used with different identification members simply by removing an old one and replacing it with a new member.
