Publisher's Synopsis
This gorgeous garden journal gathers the informational text found in Niki Irving's Growing Flowers into one functional place to plan, organize and log all things gardening. With seasonal photographs of glorious blooms, this logbook is perfectly suited to gardeners of all levels. In this planner you will find a place to chart the amount of sun each part of your garden receives to help you choose the ideal plants, to note the date plants are planted, the type of soil used, and the amount of water they need to flourish. Also included is a place to identify and treat various garden pests, the number of days from seed to bloom and everything you need to know along the way. There are plenty of blank pages to diagram your ideal landscape layout—whether you are working with acres of land or a small, sunny balcony. There are places to record the names of all of the plants you include in your garden, so you no longer have to keep track of the small, easy-to-lose plastic names that come in most purchased plants. You can then note how quickly and well they grow, when to prune them if necessary, and to note any other important information on your way to a gorgeous garden. This seed starting log, harvest tracker, and pest troubleshooting guide is the perfect gift for gardeners, moms, grandmothers, and everyone who loves to work in the soil.
