Our school recently had a minor renovation and there is a new single garden space with enough beds for each teacher. We used the wood from our old garden beds to make signs for each classroom. The kids came at lunch to paint 18" signs that have their teacher's name on them. We used acrylic paint and the wood is redwood.
@But then we realized that maybe we should cost it to protect it?? These weren't meant to necessarily be permanent. We just wanted to get something fun done in the garden and establish who's bed was who's.
Have any of you looked into eco friendly protective coatings? Do your signs do fine without it?
We are in California and get a lot of sun.
I learned a lot recently about polymers, plastic, rubber, etc and I am hesitant to use an acrylic resin or polymer or spray coat etc.
