Bay Laurel
Laurus nobilis
In Greek myth, the laurel tree comes from the story of the nymph Daphne and the god Apollo. When Apollo chased Daphne to win her love, she prayed to her father, the river god Peneus, to save her. Her father turned her into a laurel tree and Apollo declared the laurel his sacred tree and swore to wear its leaves forever.
Roman victors and poets were crowned with laurel wreaths; the words 'laureate,' 'baccalaureate' and 'bachelor's degree' all descend from that garland of bay.
Beyond the myth, the humble bay leaf is one of the kitchen's oldest aromatics - dropped whole into the stockpot and lifted out again, flavouring slow dishes across the Mediterranean.

Our garden looks great

I ordered 10 signs and our garden looks great. The engraving is crisp and visitors always comment on them.

Beautiful and sturdy

The charcoal acrylic is premium, beautiful and sturdy, far nicer than the plastic markers and pen I used before. I added Nan's tomato sauce recipe.

Really lovely gift

I bought a 6 pack of How to Grow signs for a keen-gardener friend. She loves them, they are a really lovely gift. Can you add Fennel please?

Good to know

Questions, answered.

What are the signs made from? −

Matte, charcoal-grey acrylic, around 100 mm wide, with an integrated spike. Weatherproof and fade-proof - built to live outdoors in the bed year-round

Engraved or printed? +

Always engraved, never printed. The lettering is physically cut into the surface, so it won’t wash away, peel, or fade in sunlight the way a printed label does.

Can I write my own wording for a plant? +

Yes. Choose Custom Words on any plant and type exactly what you’d like engraved for that plant - grow notes, a family recipe, a memory, a date, whatever you want the garden to remember.

Can I create my own sign from scratch? +

Yes. Visit the Memories page, select any sign and type exactly what you’d like engraved - title, subtitle, and content up to 1000 characters for $9.95 AUD per sign.

Will my custom sign look exactly as I typed it? +

The content itself is engraved exactly as the wording appears at checkout, so please double-check every letter before you order. The layout is optimised by us so that single words aren't floating on their own and the content has enough breathing space.

How long does delivery take? +

We cut and ship within five business days of your order. We ship worldwide, with tracking on every order.

How much is delivery? +

Flat $10 anywhere in Australia and $18 anywhere else - the same whether you order one sign or twenty. Tracking on every order.

How should I care for it? +

None needed, really - an occasional wipe with a damp cloth keeps the engraving crisp. No sealing, oiling, or bringing it in for winter.
