Today is National Sticker Day, and I have to admit… stickers are one of those little joys that never really stop being fun. The only difference as adults is we don’t put them on our homework anymore. We put them on our garden journals, water bottles, seed bins, potting totes, laptop lids, and planter tags. 😄
So let’s use this fun little holiday for something bigger:
𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐟 𝐏𝐆𝐒 𝐡𝐚𝐝 𝐚 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐥𝐲 𝐆𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐒𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐫 𝐂𝐥𝐮𝐛?
Not “random stickers”… but container-gardener stickers that feel like us.
A small, low-cost way to support the community… and a fun way to keep gardening motivation visible all month long.

Stickers aren’t just cute. They’re weirdly useful:
𝟏) 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐟𝐮𝐧
If you use a planner, notebook, or calendar, stickers can turn “I should plan my garden” into “Ooooh, let me open my garden book.”
𝟐) 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐧𝐮𝐝𝐠𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭
When you see “Water Wednesday” or “Seed Starting Mode” on your tote or shelf, it’s a gentle reminder—without feeling like a chore.
𝟑) 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐲 + 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠
This is the big one. Stickers can be little “badges” that say:
“I’m a container gardener. This is my happy place.”

If we did a monthly sticker club, it could rotate themes like:
🌱 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐆𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞
* “Grow Big in Small Spaces”
* “Deck Pots Count as Gardening”
* “Potting Bench Therapy”
* “I Brake for Garden Centers”
* “More Pots Please”
🌿 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐛 & 𝐄𝐝𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐕𝐢𝐛𝐞𝐬
* “Tiny Harvest Club”
* “Microgreens for the Win”
* “Snip • Rinse • Eat”
* “Herb Garden Energy”
🪴 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐨𝐫 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐍𝐨𝐨𝐤
* “Humidity Squad”
* “Low Light Legend”
* “Leaf Wipe Champion”
* “Prop Queen / Prop King”
🐛 𝐏𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐬 & 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐃𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐚 (𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐮𝐧𝐧𝐲 𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬)
* “Fungus Gnat Survivor”
* “Spider Mites, Not Today”
* “I Came, I Saw, I Quarantined”
* “Root Rot Rehab”
🌸 𝐒𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐅𝐮𝐧

* “Fall Container Reset”
* “Winter Grow Light Glow”
𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐥𝐲 𝐒𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐫 𝐂𝐥𝐮𝐛 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐋𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐋𝐢𝐤𝐞
Keeping it simple and consistent, something like:
* 1 monthly themed sticker sheet (or 5–7 individual stickers)
* A mix of:
* 1 “main” feature sticker (bigger statement)
* a few medium ones (fun sayings)
* a few small icons (watering can, pots, herbs, bugs, seedlings)
* Optional add-ons:
* matching printable mini tracker (watering/seed starting)
* “Sticker of the Month” vote in the community
𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐫 𝐝𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥?
This could be:
* Mailed physical stickers (extra fun, feels like a gift)
* OR a digital download version (printable sticker paper / Cricut-friendly)
* Or both (different tiers)

If PGS offered a Monthly Garden Sticker Club, would you be interested?
Reply with a number:
1. Yes — mailed stickers (happy mail!)
2. Yes — digital download stickers (print at home)
3. Maybe — depends on the theme/price
4. Not for me, but cute idea
𝐁𝐨𝐧𝐮𝐬 𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Where would you use them?
Garden planner? Water bottle? Seed bins? Tool tote? Pots? Laptop?
(And if you’re a “theme person,” tell me what theme you’d want first: herbs, seed starting, pests & drama, indoor plants, seasonal, funny quotes?) Put your thoughts below 👇.
