It’s been a few months since my surgery and it’s been tough to get back into the swing of things. From daily chores, to getting back into the shop to get familiar with the process of building, having that time away from it all makes it so I can’t remember how to be productive. From tackling daily chores to dusting off my tools and relearning the ins and outs of woodworking, it’s like starting from scratch in some ways.

During my time away, I did manage to jot down some ideas for when I do get into the full swing. Starting with smaller, more manageable items like these bamboo tags. With Mother’s Day right around the corner, these herb garden tags would make a perfect gift and a great way to welcome the new gardening season.

I’ve always wanted to work with bamboo wood for the material’s eco-friendly and sustainable nature. This material, technically more grass than wood, grows much faster which means could be harvested quickly and doesn’t take up much space while growing in the long term. Bamboo is also known for it’s durability and strength, able to take a beating while outdoors. Knowing I can work with a material that’s tough as nails and good for the planet just feels right.

Check out the store to find these garden markers. It doesn’t have to be for Mother’s Day, it adds a personal flair for anyone’s garden bed too.
