I am not one of those people who get offended when someone visiting my garden bends down to pull a weed. My garden visitors can pull all the want. So this is one of my favorite garden signs. I just wish it were larger - maybe something that could be seen from the road.
I'm always curious about the signs people put in their gardens. I tend to gravitate toward the humorous. Another one I love is "Trespassers Will be Composted", especially since I live near an elementary school playground. What signs do you have posted in your garden? Any favorite sayings that you'd care to share with us?

My favorite that I saw in a friend’s garden was “Garden of Weeden.”
I’ve been on the look out for some old fashioned tin signs to hang on the new fence near the chicken coop with some witticism about eggs or hens, but they are hard to come by.
my very best friend gave me a sign—CAUTION- CRANKY GARDENER! i guess she knows me pretty well!
Garden of Eatin
Don’t just stand there, weed!
Bloom where you are planted.
my sign reads:
GROW DAMMIT
In my garden the answers come
I tried but it died
My uncle has a good one “Here lies the last dog who pooped in my garden”.On a tombstone no lest.
One saying that I like was in a garden in Lockford, Ca. They had a old rusty shovel head in the ground with “Rust in Peace” painted on it.
Rest in peas.
WARNING! Do not disturb my weeds…All the weeds in this garden are carefully cultivated for use in secret medicinal receipes passed down for generations in our family. They cure migraine headaches, indegestion, baldness, hot flashes, warts, hemorrhoids, and arthritis. Thank you!
That will do it. I used to tell people I was studying to become a plant pathologist and my garden was my laboratory.
“The fastest way to heaven, is through the garden gate.”
The theology might not be right, but it suits me.
How about “Thyme to Garden”?
In my granddaughter’s memorial garden space, “To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow.”
I think that’s really sweet. I’ll have to remember that one.
The Earth smiles in flowers.
I just love this one…”the Earth Smiles In Flowers”, thanks Claire for sharing that one ; )
my favorite sign says ” your feet are killing me”.
I have an etched stepping stone in my crazy-paving pathway, made to order, with my favorite garden saying inscribed in raised lettering, including the credit for its author:
“To create a little flower is the labor of ages.”
-William Blake
Flowers feed my Soul.
