Spring Garden Journal Ideas

Whether you’re just starting your first garden journal or are looking for some ideas now the spring is coming, here are six things you can do to get started.

Plan a garden.

Planning is the most important part of gardening. A good garden plan is worth its weight in gold and can save you time and money, as well as help you achieve your goals. Keep your plan in your garden journal and refer back frequently

Make a list of things you’d like to do in your garden.

Here are some ideas for things that you can do in your garden:

• Planting. You can plant seeds, bulbs, or plants.
• Weeding. This is one of the most important things to do because weeds will grow quickly and they will compete with your plants for sunlight and nutrients in the soil. If you don’t remove them before they flower and set seedlings it will be very difficult to prevent them from coming back next year!
• Mulching around plants helps keep moisture in the soil so it’s easier for them to grow their roots deeper into the ground instead of just near its surface where water runs off quickly when it rains (or if there are sprinklers). It also keeps down weed growth so that only desirable species get sunlight instead of lots of unwanted ones too!
• Watering needs vary depending on what type(s) were planted but generally speaking watering once per week should suffice unless conditions become extremely hot then twice weekly may be necessary depending upon how quickly those particular types need moisture after having been deprived during our long winter months here where temperatures rarely rise above 60 degrees Fahrenheit (15 Celsius). Make sure not overdo it though; overwatering could cause root rot which leads directly into death without treatment…and nobody wants that happening now do we?

Describe how you want your garden to look in 10 years from now.

In your garden journal, write down a description of what you want your garden to look like in 10 years from now. Describe the colors, plants and flowers that will be in it. Include a list of things you would like to grow and do in your garden.

A garden journal can be an outlet for your creativity.

A garden journal can be an outlet for your creativity. It can be used as a place to record your thoughts and ideas, reflect on the year, or simply record observations about plants and insects. You might use it to keep track of successes as well as failures in your garden. A garden journal is also a great way to remember what worked well in one year so that you can repeat those successes in future years.

• Nature can be a great muse for your writing. Take some time to go outside and just sit with nature. Look at the trees or flowers around you, listen to the sounds of birds chirping or insects buzzing by your ear–just take it all in through your senses. Then think about how these things relate to life on Earth and what they mean for us as humans living here together with all these other creatures. How does this make me feel? What do I notice about my surroundings that might not have been apparent before? Do any feelings come up from being surrounded by so much beauty? Asking yourself questions like these can help spark ideas for writing prompts later down the road when it comes time for brainstorming topics!

If you’re looking for ways to start a garden journal, these ideas are great places to start. You can use nature as a writing prompt or make lists of things you’d like to do in your garden. The most important thing is that it feels right for you!
