<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Stan,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">At Royal Botanical Gardens, Hamilton, we use a rotary engraver to engrave all of our own labels. We use a black anodized aluminum for all our labels.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As stated, many engraving (trophies etc.) companies will be able to do this for you.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I would suggest checking out Lark Label (<a href="http://www.larklabel.com/">http://www.larklabel.com/</a>). Although not a Canadian source, Karl of Lark Label has specialized in plant labels and works with many botanical gardens and arboreta
around the world. He know a bit about plants and definitely knows about how to effectively produce plant labels which other engraving companies may not fully understand.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">All the best!<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Dear CUFN members:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A general question to anyone who has an arboretum or have used tree name plates.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am looking to find a few good Canadian companies that could produce name plates for our arboretum trees.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We have used a plastic tag/plate in the past (photo attached) but we are also exploring all options including metal.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If anyone has a suggestion on a company that may be able to provide a quote that would be appreciated. The name plates would be attached to stones at the base of each of the trees which is why we are considering metal.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you,<o:p></o:p></p>
