There are 2 sizes of tape, either should work with the garden marker above. There are also many other color options.

Braille Label Maker on MaxiAids

Way Around Tags on WayAround

These are a higher tech option. The tags have a NFC chip in them that when read with a NFC reader will open the Way Around App and read the information you have programed on the tag either by the screen reader on your phone, or by reading the text you have entered. MOe likes this option because it allows you to keep track of more than just the plant type.
