Garden Planners

Undated Planting Calendar, Sowing Log and Harvest Journal, one edition for each region.

Most garden planners are blank books with a calendar in them. These are built from the Planting Season calendar for each region, so every month opens with what to sow, what to plant out, what to pick and what to watch for where you garden. The facing pages are yours to write in.

Why a planner for each region

New Zealand gardens in nine regions from the subtropical Far North to the frosty inland basins, and the same seed packet is sown in different months in each. A planner set for Auckland would plant out tender crops far too early for Central Otago.

Each edition is the same 162-page book with its own region's pages: the month calendar pages, the region page with its microclimates, the sowing year at a glance, the quick chart and the symptoms chart.
