The Garden Journal, Planner and Log Book: Repeat successes & learn from mistakes with complete personal garden records. 28 adaptable year-round forms, ... Checkbox easy. (The Garden Journal Log Books) Paperback – Notebook, November 28, 2015

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.

Just received this, and sat down and filled out the pages for the plants, shrubs and trees that I have. My sister got me in to gardening and I really am enjoying it. This log book will help remind me to give my plants food when they need it, and keep my memos in one place

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 alphabetizeand 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 form8. 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.

I'm glad that I don't ever have to look for another planner again. I took this one apart, three hole punched it, took out the parts that I don't need, saved some originals to make copies if I need them later and now I have the perfect planner. So glad I found it, and happy to support a small business like this.

This book offered far more than I expected. The font and little art doodles add a sweet charm and the font is easy on the eyes.Overall I love it and I haven’t even written in it yet. Lol

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.

As an avid gardener, I've used a garden notebook for years. I've designed different versions myself, clipping info from different gardening magazines and seed books, and printing my own pages. Talk about work intensive! This year, I decided to make things easier and bought this paperback wonder! It has all the pages I need (and more) and the pages can be copied if needed! I took the book apart and made a 3 ring binder "Garden Notebook." I only use the pages I need, added some dividers and use coloring pencils to differentiate the type of plant being journaled. Voila - the perfect, customizable Garden Notebook! I love it, and I gave one to my daughter-in-law who is enjoying it, too. I highly recommend this for the beginning to avid gardener! This notebook can grow with you as you learn more about gardening. Great buy! Thank you for saving me a lot of effort and time!!

Nice book. Good for my needs. I am a beginner gardener so my needs are not as detailed as some of these forms, at least for now. I did find that the layout of the individual plant information form was awkward for me personally, so I ended up creating my own form and rearranging things a bit, but kept most of the info or added my own. It was still a great help to me. I have created my notebook by making copies and such from the book and I am sure it will continue to be a work in progress as my garden grows. Very helpful book.
