It is just about time to start getting our flower garden ready for planting. Hopefully, the last frost is about here. My wife wants a raised flower bed in the backyard. We are expecting the upper 50s low 60s for the next few days as highs. I am going to get the materials for the raised beds today so I am ready.
This Welcome Garden Sign is layered. It calls for 1/4" wood. You will probably want to paint the sign for outdoor use. The sign is 10.25" wide and 9" tall.
Bonus Pattern:
I have also included a jigsaw puzzle template with a public-domain flower arrangement image. The puzzle has 88 pieces. It is 10" X 8". I use 1/4" Baltic birch plywood when I cut jigsaw puzzles. See the video below for a demonstration.
