Printable Garden Planner
It’s finally here! This is something readers have been requesting for ages. I had a lot of fun creating all the pages for this you-print-it planner. Get those pens and markers ready! It’s time to plan and track your garden on paper just the way you like it.
This printable garden planner is exactly what it sounds like: a printable, digital file with dozens of handy forms, undated calendars, and checklists, providing a basic structure for your garden planning and notes. There is no physical product: just a digital file.
A printable file like this is perfect for anyone who likes using pen (or pencil or makers) and paper instead of working on a screen. You print it on standard 8.5 x 11-inch paper.
It is not a garden guide, but a planner with the basic structure provided, allowing you room to document both your garden plans and activities however you like.
Rather than starting with a blank page, a planner provides an assortment of pages to help guide the process.
Once you have saved the file to your device, it’s yours to print for personal use as often as you like.
Choose a nice, quality paper and print out all (or whichever) pages you like. You may also want to hole punch the pages and keep everything in a binder.
Start by mapping out your garden as it is. Take inventory of your plants and seeds, what’s working, what’s not—and where you want them to be. And then start planning for the season and years to come.
By keeping journal notes, at the end of the gardening season you will have a helpful resource to refer to for future garden planning.
You can see the entire table of contents here along with some sample pages.
