Garden Signs for Unique Gardens
What’s your garden sign?
If you want a unique name for your garden, try our one-of-a-kind garden name generator here.
This collection of sign ideas should help you zero in on the perfect sign for your personality. After all, your garden, your vibe.
Some are sweet, others are funny, a few are dark in humor or a tad sarcastic for those of us who enjoy a bit of snark.
I have linked to sources at Etsy and Amazon but the listings do not tend to last long. If you get a “not available” message after clicking a link, just type the phrase into the search (at the shopping site) and see if a similar sign is available. Listings are constantly changing.
There is also the option to ask if the Etsy seller to make a custom sign just for you.
Or, DIY your own version with paints and some old boards.
Buying Tips
- Check the dimensions of the sign—you can not tell from the photos how large a sign is.
- Check the materials. Will it hold up in year-round weather conditions?
