One line is all some gardens need, and this sign lets you decide how big that line should be. The Chickadee Ivy Garden 1-line plaque has a chickadee and a run of ivy cast across the top, with a single line of text under it. The photo reads “Sue’s Garden”. Buyers are usually naming a bed for someone, and often that someone feeds chickadees all winter.

Three ways to set the line

You choose one lettering size when you order. Up to 8 characters at 3 inches tall is the biggest, and it suits a short name or a house number you want seen from the road. Up to 14 characters at 1.75 inches is the middle ground. Up to 18 characters at 1.25 inches fits a longer name with “Garden” after it. Pick the size first, then count your characters, spaces included.

Material and finish

The Chickadee Ivy Garden 1-line plaque is cast in the USA from recycled aluminum. It won’t rust, so it can sit in damp soil at the edge of a bed for years. The bird, the ivy, and your text are all part of the casting. An all-weather coating goes over everything and carries a five-year warranty.

Colors on the Chickadee Ivy Garden 1-line plaque

Antique Copper, Black/Gold, Bronze/Gold, and Green/Gold are the four finishes. Green/Gold is a natural fit for an ivy design, since the background matches the leaves. Bronze/Gold, shown in the photo, is the quieter choice. Black/Gold has the most contrast for a sign set well back from the path.

If you want a second line for a date or a short phrase, the Chickadee Ivy Garden 2-line plaque is the same design with two lines, in the same three lettering layouts. The cast bird feeders are a sensible companion for anyone who has chickadees around. Double-check the spelling on the Chickadee Ivy Garden 1-line plaque before you place the order, because cast text can’t be edited afterward and personalized pieces aren’t returnable.
