{"product_id":"landmark-qr-plant-marker-3x5","title":"Landmark 3x5 QR Code Plant Marker, Engraved Two-Tone Acrylic on Solid Aluminum Stake, 5 Lines","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA name tells a visitor what a plant is. A QR code lets them find out why it matters.\u003c\/strong\u003e The butterflies it hosts, how it was used, how to grow one at home. The Landmark QR carries both. The front of the panel gives the common and scientific names and a short note anyone can read in passing, and the code links to whatever page you choose, from a university Extension profile to your own garden's website.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI engrave every Landmark in my Phoenix studio on cast two-tone acrylic. My laser cuts through the top layer to show the core color underneath, so the lettering and the QR code are part of the panel itself, with no ink or paint to fade or peel. The panel is fastened to a stake cut from solid aluminum bar, 1\" wide and 1\/8\" thick, and angled back slightly so it reads easily from standing height and scans without kneeling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere it fits:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pollinator and monarch gardens, school habitats, demonstration beds, nature trails, campus and community plantings, and any home garden where you'd like visitors to learn a little more than a name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e Panel 5.2\" wide x 2.9\" high\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStake:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solid aluminum bar, 1\" x 1\/8\", natural uncoated finish. 12\" standard, with 16\" and 24\" available.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLettering and QR code:\u003c\/strong\u003e Engraved through the top layer to the core color beneath, with \"Scan Here to learn more\" above the code\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePersonalization:\u003c\/strong\u003e Common name, scientific name, up to 3 lines of notes, and your QR link\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChoose your color\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStandard, no extra cost:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black with white lettering.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial order, +$1.95 per marker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blue, Green, Red, Maroon, Orange, Purple, or Brown with white lettering, or Yellow, Almond, or White with black lettering.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial order, +$2.95 per marker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gold or Brushed Gold with black lettering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI keep a sheet or two of most colors on hand.

I can't confirm it's the page you intended, and a code can't be changed once it's engraved. Links from stable sites, like university Extension services, botanical gardens, or your own website, tend to last the longest. If a page ever moves, the removable mount lets you put a new panel on the same stake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rinse with water and a soft cloth. Don't use glass cleaner, because it clouds acrylic. Push the stake straight down.
