Garden Journal

A Garden Journal is a place where a gardener logs everything they need to know about the plants that they grow. Its a useful tool to look back on for future gardens. Here is where I’ve compiled my own Garden Journal information with my Book of Shadows information and added in a few of my favorite recipes, fun facts and a little history. Enjoy!

I’ve put all the information into pdf form for you to download and print out. Most topics have more than one page. Just sign up for our monthly newsletter to get the password (it should be in you inbox with in a few minutes. I’ll be adding new pages every month so keep your eye peeled for the latest.
