A garden stake is a long, thin post used to support plants in a garden. It is usually made from wood, metal, or plastic and is driven into the ground next to a plant to help it grow upright. Garden stakes are commonly used for taller or climbing plants, such as tomatoes or flowers with weak stems, to prevent them from falling over or bending. They can also be used to mark areas or guide plants along a specific path. Stakes come in various sizes and shapes, depending on the type of plant being supported.
