Garden plaques are tablets, usually made out of wood and either suspended, appended to a vertical surface like a wall, or posted like a sign out of the floor. Garden plaques can either be brief or very long, and beautiful, informative, or both. Based on the situation, garden plaques have a range of functions: identification, commemoration, or decorative. An example of an ID plaque would be a family marker, such as The Smiths, to accompany an address or erected out front of home. The short blurbs one finds at museums are also ID plaques, although these are not in reality garden plaques. Commemorative plaques, though, are more many. A headstone and historical marker are examples of this (garden plaques need not only be made of wood. Headstones are found in cemeteries, which are mainly treated like gardens). Decorative plaques, as those seen in a garden, would be markers with flowers painted on them to contribute flare to the scene. Garden plaques can be made in a range of shapes and sizes, depending on the length of the message and the degree of ornamentation included on them. The aforementioned headstone would have the deceases name, dates, possible quote, and even the addition of angelic iconography. These stones would naturally be bigger than a headstone inserted in the ground and bearing only a name and dates. Some headstones are round while others are rectangular, square, or cross-shaped. Family markers are the same way. Garden plaques can even be in the form of 3-dimensional images, such as animals, mythical or cultural designs, cosmological bodies (moon, sun, stars, etc.), or everyday items, like hearts, ribbons, books, even cars.
