Keeping a garden journal is a great way to keep track of your gardening experiences and to make improvements to your garden over time. By documenting your gardening activities and observations, you can reflect on what worked and what didn't work in your garden.
A garden journal can include notes on things like:
- Planting dates
- Seed varieties
- Soil preparation techniques
- Fertilization
- Watering schedules
- Harvests
- Factors that may have affected the growth and health of your plants
- Weather patterns
- Temperature fluctuations
- Other environmental factors that may have impacted your garden
In addition to helping you keep track of your gardening experiences, a garden journal can also be a source of inspiration and ideas for future gardening projects. By reviewing your notes from past seasons, you may discover new ways to improve your garden, try new plant varieties, or experiment with different gardening techniques.

When creating your garden journal, consider using a notebook or binder with labeled sections for different areas of your garden or different types of plants. You may also want to include photographs, sketches, or diagrams to help you visualize your garden layout and track changes over time.
Overall, keeping a garden journal can be a valuable tool for any gardener, whether you're a beginner or an experienced green thumb. By taking the time to document your gardening experiences, you can learn from your successes and mistakes and create a more productive and beautiful garden in the future.
No gardening journal has to be as pretty as the following, but it's a beauty:
