Each plant tag is linked to a dedicated web page by a QR code* to provide information about frost sensitivity, watering preferences, bloom times and special values like nectar plant, host plant, bird nesting habitat, hummingbird attractor or native bee favorite.
The plastic tag holder allows me to document specifics about a plant, like hybrid name.
*Each tag has a QR code that links to a dedicated page with more info. (You can try it now – open the Camera on your smart phone and focus on the QR code – when your phone displays PollinatorWeb.com text, click on it.)
A list of planned tags is provided at the bottom of this page.
Note: Older phones may require you to use a QR Code Scanner app.

Production Process
To make it possible to produce plant tags for sale I created a “jig” that holds 50 tags.
I create a file with each ordered tag in a corresponding slot, send it to the laser and the engraving begins. It takes 7 hours to engrave 50 tags.
Afterwards I hand wash each tag to remove residue.
Total time from setup to cleaned tags is 8 hours.
Over time we’ll be expanding our tag categories to include helpful reminders and also butterflies, bees and other insects.
Plants by Common Name
Note: I’m still creating a detailed web page for some of these tags- it will take some time before they’re all completed, but let me know if you’re interested in a plant that’s under construction and I’ll bump it up on the list.
