2023 Complete Garden Planner & Journal Printable

Description

You want a garden planner to take you from the earliest stages of planning your season all the way through your harvest. It’s important that you can customize it to fit your particular garden’s needs. You want a journal to record the details you’ll forget otherwise. It would be nice to print out the pages you need and skip the ones you don’t. And maybe, you could use a few tips to help you out along the way.

The Complete Garden Planner fits all of those things, making it the most comprehensive yet customizable printable garden planner and journal on the market. 

Unlike pre-printed journals, you can customize your planner to fit your needs. Print multiples of some pages while skipping the ones that don’t apply to you. Mess up on your layout? (because we all do) Just print out another sheet.

• Dark: same color scheme as the Original, with slightly darker colors for easier-to-read contrast
• Black & White: printer friendly grayscale to save money on color ink
