This is a quick and easy project post! As it is garden season, I’ve been using my homemade garden journal almost weekly! I made it early in our marriage to record what we planted and when as well as each plants’ location. As plants have died, I have had to cross them off so I keep an accurate record.

All you need is a composition notebook and a glue stick (or some other form of adhesive). I enjoyed cutting some lovely flower photos out of magazine to cover the front of my journal. Mod Podge works well to make the cover durable. Now, just add the label or plant marker from each perennial (plants that come back on their own each year) you plant, note where you planted it, and finally the date you planted it! I often put the year at the top of a new section to find each years’ plants easier.

You can put annuals (plants that only live one year/season)in also! But some years this may take up a lot of room! *wink*

What are you adding to your garden journal in 2025??
