FREE Printable Garden Journal

Every gardener needs a garden journal. You might think that you’ll remember when you started each type of seed, when it was transplanted into your garden and how much that plant produced, but come winter I find it’s very hard to remember all these little details!
Keeping a garden journal helps you to know
- What you planted.
- When you planted it.
- Where you bought the seed.
- The weather conditions of that growing year.
- How the plant yielded.
These are the very basics of what you should record in your garden journal.
I’ve used various systems for keeping garden logs in the past as I was finishing up my journal for this year I decided to expand it a little and share it as a gift to you!
In this free printable garden journal you will find:
A Garden Log – This is a printable garden log to keep track of your daily garden notes. I keep a set in our greenhouse to make notes while I’m out working in the garden.
There is space to record the planting year, variety name, seed source, when you planted, transplanted and harvested from that plant. There is also lots of room for general notes.
First & Last Frost Date Form – A helpful page to record when you have your first and last frost each year.
22 Decorated Plant Specific Journal Pages – These forms are similar to the garden log but each page is dedicated to one type of plant.
I use these at the end of the garden season to transfer notes from the garden log into my main garden journal. Over time, you build a wonderful record of how each plant grows in your garden.
22 Plant Undecorated Journal Pages – These are the same as the decorated pages but without the clipart making it print-friendly.
1 Untitled Journal Page – Do you grow a plant that I don’t have a premade page for? Use this to print your own blank journal pages.

Hello again Kim and sorry about my previous comment.
It was my error that I didn’t receive it. The confirmation email went to my spam folder. In face a lot of mail I’ve been looking for was there.
So I moved them all to my inbox.
Again, sorry about that.

Hello Kim.
I see from the comments that you have not sent the garden planner out for the last few years.
Maybe change it to an auto send, or even a link to download it.
I know I’m disappointed at the thought of not being able to get it.
Hope all is well with you & your world.
Cheryl
looking forward to receiving the garden journal

Hi Kim
I started a raised garden last year, not much planning went into it. I would really like your printables to see if I can do better this year.
Hi I subscribed. I have not received my free garden printables email. When will it be available? Thank you 🙂

Hi Ron, I just sent you a copy. Thanks! 🙂
With garden season starting up with new seeds in stores,when I start getting my journal. I live 30 miles from Tulsa, Okla.
When can I expect the garden journal?
Hey! I just subscribed, please can you send me the link for the printable journal? 🙂 thank you!
Hi Kim! I’d love to subscribe and be able to print your beautiful garden journal. Thank you so much.
Tried a couple times to get your garden journal and have not received the email link. I do receive your other emails and find them informative.
I’m sorry you’re having trouble getting the download. I just emailed you a copy. 🙂
Hi! I just downloaded your garden journal, but I didn’t receive the plant specific pages. I received 22 pages total. Garden planner, notes pages and the calendar pages. Can you help?
Hi Lynne, I just emailed you a new copy. 🙂 I did check the download link that goes out in the email and it is working on my end though. I wonder if the download was interrupted or there was some glitch that caused it not to finish.
hmm… interesting printable. Not sure I’ll use it as i’m good a scratch papering it, but I’ll happily share/pin it for you. 🙂
Thanks! I’ve used scratch paper before but I find I need a little more structure. I end up making random notes on different pages about different plants then I can’t find anything. lol
