Gardening... Because Murder Is Wrong

What is the “Gardening… Because Murder Is Wrong” metal sign?

It's a vintage-style metal sign with a distressed finish and cheeky humour, perfect for gardeners or plant lovers with a dark, playful sense of humour. It’s a fun statement piece for indoor or outdoor spaces.

What size is the sign and what’s it made from?

The sign measures 30cm x 21cm and is made from durable, lightweight metal. It has a matte, retro look that adds character without being overly glossy.

Can I hang the sign outdoors?

Yes—it’s weather-resistant and made to handle outdoor conditions. For best longevity, mount it in a spot with some shade and shelter from constant moisture, especially in coastal or humid areas.

Where’s the best place to hang the sign?

It looks great in garden sheds, patios, potting benches, greenhouses, balconies, or even indoor kitchens and studios. It's also a fun backdrop for plant photos or content creation spaces.

How do I mount the sign?

The sign has pre-drilled holes for easy hanging. You can use screws, nails, picture hooks, zip ties, or twine—whatever suits your wall, fence, or gate. Heavy-duty tape can work on smooth indoor surfaces too.

Does the sign come with hanging hardware?

No hardware is included. You'll need to supply your own hooks, screws, or adhesive strips depending on where and how you're mounting it.

Is the sign safe to use around children and pets?

Yes—once mounted securely and out of reach, it’s safe. Like all metal signs, handle it with care to avoid contact with sharp corners during installation.

Will the sign rust, fade, or warp?

It’s made to be tough. However, like any metal, constant wet exposure or direct harsh sun can age it over time. A shaded or semi-protected spot will keep it looking fresh longer.

Can I clean the sign easily?

Yes—just wipe it with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. It’s also recyclable in most areas if you ever decide to retire it.

Is this sign a good gift idea?

Definitely—it’s a popular gift for gardeners, housewarmings, holidays, and anyone who enjoys humour in their décor. Just note: the humour is cheeky and might not be for every household.

What kind of humour is the sign?

It’s dark, tongue-in-cheek humour with a vintage twist. If you’re into plants and sarcasm, it’ll hit the mark. If not, maybe pick something more wholesome!

Can I hang the sign without drilling or making holes?

Yes—strong adhesive hooks, command strips, or wire through the holes can all work. For a more permanent mount, screws or nails are your best bet.

Can I customize how I hang the sign?

Yes—you can drill extra holes if needed or adjust your mounting method to suit your space. Pair it with hooks or tools nearby to make it feel styled, not random.

Does the sign match modern or rustic spaces?

Absolutely—the distressed look adds charm to modern, rustic, or eclectic spaces. It’s a contrast piece that adds personality without being too loud.

Why do people love this sign?

Because it’s funny, relatable, and adds character to any space. It’s a conversation starter that brings humour to your garden or home—no green thumb required.
