Linseed Oil Treated - Blank Wood Plant Label – 25 Garden Markers & Booklet. Mould and Rot Resistant.

Add a touch of natural charm and durability to your garden with this thoughtfully curated set of linseed oil treated wooden plant labels, supplied with an exclusive printed booklet from The Forgotten Garden.

Unlike standard untreated tags, each label is pre-treated with natural linseed oil before sale, helping to reduce moisture absorption and significantly slow the moulding and rotting that gardeners often experience with wooden markers. This extra step makes them better suited to real garden conditions while remaining fully eco-friendly.

Perfect for labelling herbs, vegetables, flowers, or seedlings, these tags are practical, attractive, and safe to use around edible plants.

What’s included

• 25 linseed oil treated bamboo plant tags
• Exclusive printed booklet: An introduction to six rare perennial plants to grow and enjoy, a simple sowing guide, the tools I use, and a seasonal planting calendar — a compact, genuinely useful companion for greenhouse or garden planning.

Why linseed oil treatment matters 🌱

Linseed oil is a natural, plant-based oil traditionally used to protect wood.
It penetrates the fibres of the bamboo rather than forming a plastic coating, helping to:

• Reduce water absorption
• Slow mould and fungal growth
• Improve resistance to rot
• Extend usable life outdoors

✔ No synthetic sealers
✔ No harsh chemicals
✔ Safe around edible plants
✔ Fully biodegradable over time

As far as I’m aware, these are unusual in being pre-treated before sale, saving you time and effort while giving better real-world performance straight out of the packet.

Care tips

While linseed oil treatment greatly improves longevity, these are still a natural product.

For maximum lifespan in very wet or exposed conditions, an occasional re-coat of linseed oil can be applied if desired.

For labels that won’t fade in sunlight, use a UV-resistant permanent marker or garden pen.
