Garden Labels  Here's
your chance to use the same garden labelling system we use here
at Bradenham Hall Gardens.Our labels are engraved to the highest standard available onto acrylic, manufactured with our own computerised engraving machine. A wide range of colours are available, for indoor and outside use, the most popular being a black surface with white lettering. Outdoor labels (all standard designs, unless specified) are engraved onto an attractive flexible material, with a gloss finish, that has been formulated to withstand the elements. Its durability against rain and sun gives outdoor signs a lasting effect normally reserved for indoor signs. Indoor signs are engraved onto a similar material with a satin finish, but are not designed to withstand exposure to rain and sun without fading, and are therefore slightly cheaper.
A wide range of shapes and designs are available, or can be custom made. Options include: hole drilling, date in lower corner and Company logo, anywhere on the label. Hole and date are free of charge. Plant label holders can also be supplied for standard designs 1, 2 & 4. These are made in black polyester coated aluminium, and provide a very attractive holder for a ground based label.
We
can also design to "show standard" and in addition
to plant labels, we can engrave anything onto a surface area
of up to 8" x 4'. This could include door signs, exit signs
and notices. Samples of labels and tree fixings are available
on request. Please write, fax or telephone for further details. |
Tree
fixings can be supplied. This system was devised by The Royal
Botanical Gardens Kew, and is an ideal way of securing labels
to trees without causing them any harm. A stainless steel nail
is used with a phosphor bronze helical spring in front of the
label, with a washer between the label and the tree. As the
tree grows the nail is gradually prised out to allow for further
growth.
Ideal
for trees, wired, nailed or in ground with plant label holder.
