My daughter was looking for a garden plan book. We viewed so many books on Amazon. This won hands down! I ordered 2! My daughter has already taken it to a copy shop for spiral binding (about $4.00). She is an avid gardener. (I'm more of a plant it and let it fend for itself gardener. This is why I really appreciate perennials!) This book works for both of us. It allows planning for every kind of garden. There are forms for keeping track of what and where you bought it. You can track your local annual growing conditions and when your flowers bloomed or veggies were harvested. One form has every way to identify a plant including if it is poisonous, which part and to whom. We gave our grandkids a puppy last year so this is vital info for my daughter. The book has a generous amount of each form. (We really like the grid ded planning pages.) It's almost an inch thick and is surprisingly heavy. It's well worth the very reasonable price. Special note: the book says you can download copies of the pages, but you actually can't. The book was published in around 2016 so I guess the author didn't get that far or it's been too long ago. Not a big issue if you have a copier.

Got this as a gift for my husband who has a bit of green thumb. From what I have read this is the journal to get for all things gardening. I hope he likes and is able to make good use of it!

I ordered 3 garden planners, not knowing which I'd like, and since they don't show many pictures of the book, I wanted to write a detailed review to help other gardeners choose. This could be a great book for you. It wasn't quite what I had in mind, so I am returning it. This is not really a book for planning. There is very little of it for mapping things out, making to fo lists, etc. It's more of a record book of whats in your garden. I'll go section by section. 1. First, you have about 6 pages, all identical, to record all of your favorite seed companies. I only order from less than 5 companies, so I don't need the 42 slots to write down seed company names and info. 2. You have about 6 more pages to record everything you purchase. I personally don't have a reason or time to do this. Maybe if you are selling produce and need to keep a budget, this could help you. I'd rather not reflect on how much money I spend on my garden. 3. You get about 17 pages to record the weather each day. I'm not retired, and even if I was, I don't think I'd have time, reason, or the discipline to record the daily weather. But other gardeners may love this. 4. Next up is several pages where you can list and chart what you've planted and when it blooms or us harvested. These pages are pretty nice! It could be fun to chart this to make sure your garden always has something in bloom. 5. The next section has about 20 pages that have graph paper on one side and lined paper on the other. This is the one section where you could plan out your garden. I do like that there are so many pages of graph paper. 6. The next section is a good chunk of the book and each page let's you record very detailed info on each plant. What I don't like is that it would be hard to alphabetize and add more plants later. 7. After this is more pages with logs to give quick less detailed notes about plants, divided by category. These pages are in chart form 8. After that is many lined pages for a gardening diary, lined pages to plan each month. 9. Lastly, there are pages to record pruning, pest control, propagation, recipes from your crops, etc. This book has so many different pages and if you love the idea of having a record of what you've done and what you have in your garden, especially if your garden is huge, you'll love this book. I wanted something more where I could have to do lists, week by week, and this wasn't quite it.

We just moved to an acreage this past summer and hope to begin a veggie and fruit garden. I have been searching for a helpful and cute way to track our garden...mostly crop rotation and plant data. This will help for sure! It is quite feminine/cute too with little plants and flowers drawn on the pages in the margins. I like this, but if you're searching for a more masculine journal or record book for your garden, this might not be it. It's not a hindrance to the effectiveness of the book, just a stylistic trend worth noting. The other thing I like is the presence of the page categories on the open edge of the book. This helps you quickly find the section you need be it weather log, garden plot, various plant logs, etc.. The author gives permission to take part and copy her pages (as long as you do not mass produce with intent to sell or give away), to truly make your own journal. I will likely do this as I will require more pages than what is available in some sections. It has a page of the U.S. Agricultural Zone Map, charts and tables with measurement conversions, and it has a page devoting to tree pruning (instructions and images) as well as soil, worm and drainage tests that you can easily do on your own. There's a lot of space to fill in if you choose to, or you could probably scratch out and rename some sections to meet your needs, but the base level of this book is fantastic!

As other reviewers state, the author encourages us to use this journal as we wish. I did not have the patience for softening the glue with a hair dryer. I did zap the spine briefly with my iron, but I found that if I carefully removed the back cover, I could peel of a few pages at a time, as one does with a tablet of paper bound in this way. I put the front cover in the clear view pocket of a binder, and punched holes in the pages. I put the growing zone map in a page protector, and I will likely employ page protectors for other reference sheets that I may add, and use from year to year. I intend to add some sheets of sketch paper, and perhaps some plastic photograph holders. I will make copies of the sheets I need to use more often, too. I expect I will need to move it all to a bigger binder as time goes on, or perhaps split it into a reference/ historical binder and a current use binder. But the journal will be able to travel with me through my gardening journey for many years. We have just moved to a country property, much overgrown and untended for years, and are transforming it to be our idea of the perfect rambling garden. I envision garden "rooms" with paths between them, each fitting in the slightly wild and fanciful whole, but each with its own personality. I am new to gardening on this scale, having had a postage stamp yard in the city, and I have much to learn, and much experimenting to do. Keeping track of successes and failures in my journal should be helpful. It is a wonderful journal, and in a binder, it allows you to customize as much or as little as you wish. I cannot wait to begin!

The book has worksheets and they are useful but the copies are poor. Plus lots of copies of the same sheet. It's it a journal or a workbook? Hard to say because the work sheets are group together instead of in a fashion that would be useful. So either the pages are removed or tabbed. But then there isn't that many copies. Like five or so. So it's difficult to use as a linear journal for historical purposes.

Finally! This is the perfect solution for my garden documentation. I couldn't tell from the page previews, but I took a chance after disappointment with other planners. This has everything I was looking for and more. There are sections for everything- recording weather, plot design, individual plant pages, logs for types of plants, the diary pages, propagation pages, and even formulas pages (I need to know eg how many gallons of water needed to give a 6 ft diameter raised bed one inch of captured rainwater, how many gallons cistern for 2000 sq ft of beds, etc). I worked out charts for permaculture guilds for our location which I will glue into the book. Otherwise all my other notes will be easy to consolidate here. Unlike other planners, this doesn't read like a how to book- it's just lots of really well designed pages for me to record and organize my notes. Bravo! And thanks a million. March 20th - I used a blow dryer to soften the glue to separate the pages, trimmed the edges, then made holes with 3 hole punch and placed in a big 3 ring binder. Just need a few more pages for logs and individual plant data -- did not know I had so much data accumulated over the past 3 years and to use divider pages for the major sections. I keep all my seed packets in a 4 inch thick binder too, in 4x6 inch photo pages, so I like having another binder solution.

Had all of the pages I needed and more. I will be able to use this for a couple of years. This was my first year tracking my garden. It was helpful with knowing when things should be ready to harvest.

Great book,although by American author,still 100% usefull in UK.Loads of space for my own notes as well as loads of pre-printed pages for my records (fruit and veg log,plants log,pests,feed,weather and many more).

This is he second time I bought it as I love the way it is laid out in the journal. You pretty much record everything from the time you sow the seeds, the plant culture, the weather and the possible disease and the historical treatment. Once they are recorded in the journal, it's your asset and the knowledge bank that you can apply forever.

Didn't really pay attention to the order and didn't realise it was an american produced item. This means it has pages within it that reference America e.g the different planting zones, so stuff like that isn't relevant to other markets. Otherwise its a very handy product for keeping a garden log. Garden logs are a must if you wanna figure out your garden but perhaps see if you can find one produced in your own country. If yer a yank, go for it.

What I plant and where? A great reference for years to come
