Dianthus is the old cottage-garden flower, the one your grandmother called pinks, and it’s the design cast across this sign. The Dianthus Garden personalized lawn plaque also carries a short cast line about thoughts and dreams, with one line left open for a name. In the photo that name is “Ashley’s Garden”. It’s a gentle sign, and it tends to be bought as a gift rather than for oneself.

Personalizing the Dianthus Garden personalized lawn plaque

There is one personalization line. It takes up to 17 characters at 1.25 inches tall, counting spaces and apostrophes. “Ashley’s Garden” uses 15. A longer first name with “Garden” may not fit, so try the name on its own, or shorten to initials. The text is cast into the metal, which is why there’s no changing it later.

Cast aluminum, coated for weather

The sign is cast in the USA from recycled aluminum, so it won’t rust, and it can sit at the edge of a bed through every season. An all-weather coating goes over the casting and is warranted for five years. Because the flower and the lettering are cast rather than painted on, the design doesn’t wear off as the sign ages.

Color choices

Antique Copper, Black/Gold, Bronze/Gold, and Green/Gold are the four options for the Dianthus Garden personalized lawn plaque. Bronze/Gold is shown. Green/Gold tends to be the gardener’s pick for a flower design, while Black/Gold stands out the most against pale stone or a white fence.

The Garden Collection has other floral designs, including the Garden Flower sunflower plaque and the Butterfly Rose Garden plaque. If this is going in as a memorial to a gardener who has passed, the memorial bronze plaques are the more formal option. Either way, read the name back twice before you order the Dianthus Garden personalized lawn plaque. Personalized castings are final sale and can’t be returned.
