Gardeners who keep a pond or a damp corner where dragonflies hunt tend to order this one. The Dragonfly Garden personalized lawn plaque has a dragonfly cast across the top and two lines of your own text below. The photo reads “Welcome to Susan’s Garden” across the two lines. It’s a straightforward design that isn’t trying to be cute.

Two lines, and a size choice on the first

Line 1 can hold up to 14 characters at 1.25 inches, or you can go large with up to 5 characters at 3 inches. The large option is for a short name or a house number. The second line holds up to 17 characters at 1.25 inches. “Welcome to” over “Susan’s Garden” is one layout; a 3-inch “SUSAN” over “Please pull weeds” is another. Spaces count toward the limits.

What the Dragonfly Garden personalized lawn plaque is made of

It’s recycled aluminum, cast here in the USA. The dragonfly and both lines are cast with the sign, so nothing is glued or printed on. Aluminum won’t rust, which is the whole point for a sign near water. An all-weather coating goes over the metal and carries a five-year warranty.

Finishes

The Dragonfly Garden personalized lawn plaque comes in Antique Copper, Black/Gold, Bronze/Gold, or Green/Gold. The photo is the Bronze/Gold version. Green/Gold vanishes nicely into reeds and hostas, while Black/Gold is the readable choice for a sign that greets people at the front walk.

The same dragonfly appears on the Dragonfly Garden Quote plaque, which swaps the two open lines for a cast saying about loving nature plus one name line. For a plaque that goes on the house rather than in the ground, the wall-mounted address plaques are cast the same way. Check both lines of your Dragonfly Garden personalized lawn plaque for spelling before you order. The text is cast in, so personalized orders can’t be modified or returned once placed.
