ideas for a garden sign in French?

I spray painted a metal folding chair using sky blue, then painted a large Sunflower on the seat. Now I want to say something on the backrest in French. The backrest consists of 2 narrow slits about 2 inches wide that I need to write something on. Any ideas? Merci beaucoup.

Jours à la maturité . . .

I guess I've got it right.

Maybe "welcome to my garden"? Here is a site to translate from English to French. Just type in the words or phrase you want translated, then click English to French. Good luck!

Here is a link that might be useful: Free Translation Site

That free translation site is pretty simplistic - if the English word exists in the other language, it is just duplicated regardless of the context and meaning. Bablefish may work better for you or it may do the same thing.

Jours à la maturité can be translated as "days-to-maturity." The time it takes for seeds to grow to a harvestable crop. One sees this term when exploring French horticultural information.

The phrase might also mean a "time of maturity" or even "a time to be old" but I don't really know. It just seemed like an old guy like me might understand the words to mean that it is okay to sit down and rest while in the garden.

What about "Beau Jardin"?

Beautiful Garden

PEACE.. or Peace be with you (in any language). Merry Christmas and peace be with you on our lovely, beautiful earth. The name I have chosen for the park i'm building is Peace Park.
