Pollinator Habitat Yard Sign

This listing is for a downloadable PDF to print your own 12-inch by 12-inch garden sign. ***Please read the full description for Etsy’s instructions on how to download your digital purchase and tips on how to print it.*** Perfect for native and pollinator gardens to enlighten passers by to key information about pollinator friendly yards. This sign will help educate and inform anyone who sees it about the yard owner's passion for maintaining a pollinator friendly yard. © CWest 2022

A portion of all proceeds will go to the National Audubon Society, Wild Ones dot org and the Xerces Society.

The downloadable file is designed to be printed on a 12" x 12" aluminum yard sign from the printing company of your choice. *See details below for the exact printing settings I used.

I created this sign because I am a pollinator friendly and native gardening enthusiast. I could not find a sign I liked, so I created my own. The QR code takes you to a popular pollinator friendly group where I have learned the most about native and pollinator friendly gardening practices.

The images on the sign were taken by me in my tiny little urban garden. The yellow flower is a rudbeckia native to my area, and the purple flowers are asters native to my area. Hopefully the bee is native too. The words are tips that I felt were the most important for someone passing by to know about pollinator friendly yard practices. The links I provided are those that I feel have been most helpful to me as I continue to learn about pollinator friendly yards. I didn't want a sign without links and a QR code, because I wanted people to immediately be able to learn more if they were interested.

I have been an Etsy shopper since 2009, and this is my first time as a seller. I will try to add additional listings as I can. I knew others would want a similar sign, so I wanted to go ahead and add it now. I will try to add a ready-made sign listing if I can find a suitable printer that works with Etsy.

Thank you very much for viewing my listing.

*These are the printing settings I used. I printed my 12"x12" aluminum sign from Print Moz with the following settings: Aluminum Signs, Thickness: 0.032, W: 12" H: 12", quantity 1, Gloss Coating. You can print from any shop you like. You'll save on shipping if you have a local shop that does it. I'm very happy with the quality from Print Moz.
The stakes they recommended are the "Kichwit 14" long metal yard stakes, aluminum alloy for lightweight yard signs. We drilled the holes (as pictured) at the bottom of the sign about 5" apart and 1/2" give or take up from the bottom. Print Moz was very helpful answering all my questions about the sign.
