plant


"A plant," spring-time, bush, garden:




Note: If you do the sign "plant / spring / bush / garden" using only a single movement it would tend to mean "GROW."

Note:  When signing "GARDEN" I tend to sign "GROW" (using a small movement) and then shift the sign location to the right a couple inches and sign "GROW" again. That shows more than one plant growing.


NOTE:  Some people feel the "initialized" version of "plant" is not an ASL sign. 
I'm going to show it to you here so you can recognize it.  I suggest you use the "plant / spring / bush / garden" version instead of the initialized version.
See the "spring" page.

PLANT (initialized version)

PLANT SEEDS:
Rub your fingers together as you move your hand forward--as if dropping seeds into a furrow.
