• GreenThumb sign
  All registered GreenThumb gardens must have a GreenThumb sign on their fence (we are proud of your greening efforts and we want you to be proud that you are a GreenThumb garden). If your GreenThumb sign has been damaged let us know so you can get a new one.

• Routed Parks Signs
  All Parks Gardens are to display a Parks Department sign with the name of the garden group along with the GreenThumb sign in front of the garden. Signs are 2x2 ft or 2x4 ft. Signs must be ordered and some information of the gensis of the name may be required. All gardens that were recently transferred into the Parks Department by the settlement will recieve a GREEN sign. Gardens under all other juristictions will recieve a WHITE routed parks sign.
  
  
• Open Hours
  Open hours signs must be posted to inform the community & visitors when the garden is open. All GreenThumb gardens are required to be open a minimum of ten (10) hours a week . Open hours may be changed every new gardening season to fit the schedule of the gardeners. Open hours signs are 8.5 x 11 in. and can be sent to you by mail.
  

• "No Dumping"
  The "No Dumping" signs are provided by the generosity of The Department of Sanitation to help keep your garden green and clean. If you have a problem with dumpers in your community let them know with this sign that dumping on your garden is illegal and they will be fined. The sign may be picked up at the GreenThumb office by appointment.
  

• "Curb your Dog"
  The "Curb your Dog" signs are made available by the Department of Parks & Recreation. They are bright red and demonstrate that NOT cleaning up after your dog is illegal and subject to a fine. The sign may be picked up at the GreenThumb office by appointment.

• Special custom made laminated sign
  A special laminated sign is a sign that GreenThumb does not have on hand but can be created for you with information you provide. If your garden is trying to promote membership or is having an event, you might want a special laminated sign. Signs range from 8.5 x 11 in. or 11x17 in. Signs may be picked up at the GreenThumb office by appointment.
