Annual Garden Planner
For those planning a small kitchen garden, a large market garden, or even a beautiful flower garden, this planner was created to assist you in planning, organizing, and maximizing the potential of your gardening space. Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or just starting out, I know you will find this planner to be a helpful tool!
Even as a child, I loved old things like antique stores, museums and books, such as Little House on the Prairie, that transported me back in time. I rode horses, participated in 4H, and ran barefoot through the garden. All of these things helped me to grow into the old-fashioned gal I am today. I hope you join me here as I share my lifestyle with all of you.
