More Description The ultimate garden planner is also a beautiful companion of seasonal joy! Do you wish garden planners had more beauty, without sacrificing utility? Well, then this is the planner for you. In fact, its' the planner for everyone, no matter what your gardening style!
With just about every kind of log and plan page a gardener could want, you'll be covered for whatever your gardening style and specialties are, but without sacrificing the beauty of gardening, which is reflected in the gorgeous watercolor illustrations and trims of this ample, large format, ultimate gardening book.
This truly beautiful, lavishly illustrated journal is the perfect gift for any gardening woman in your life . . . or a wonderful token for yourself as you follow your garden dreams.
How to Use this Book:
No two gardeners are alike, and so no two gardens are the same. It follows that no two garden planners should be alike either! Some gardeners are obsessed with seeds. Some hate them. Some gardeners don't plant any fruits or vegetables. Others plant dozens of varieties. Some gardeners religiously apply fertilizer and pest control products. Others don't bother at all. Some gardeners muse for hours on end in journals about each bud and bloom. Others are content to enjoy the show.
How, then, to design a garden journal for you, dear gardener? I will share with you a tried-and-true solution . . . one that has worked for me and many very different gardeners than myself:
TEAR THIS BOOK APART. LITERALLY.
Many gardeners find that the best thing to do when they get a new garden planner is to take it apart, and then put it back together to work for their garden and their own, unique gardening style. If you wish to use this method, first remove all of the pages (a copy and print shop can do this for you, or the patient can use a hair dryer to soften the spine glue and carefully remove and separate the pages). Then, keep the pages you want to use, make copies of any pages you want more of, organize them as you like, and have them spiral bound by your print shop friends, or hole-punch them and clip them into a 3-ring binder. This will also allow you to add any additions, such as a folder or envelope for clippings or pictures, recipe pages, etc.
I do hope you will love this planner and journal so much you will find it a beloved, heirloom companion for many fruitful seasons to come. I made it as a tribute to the gardens I have loved . . . and the gardens I have lost, as well as to your wonderful gardens, which bring so much beauty to the world! I hope that your own garden will thrive for many happy years ahead. Thank you for letting this book be a small part of your Seasons of Joy.
