Flower Gardener's Journal & Magnet Gift Set ― Record Garden Information, Keep Track of Plants, and Inspire Yourself

Gardening is an art of many things: plant preference, regional requirements, visual design, incredible patience . . . but above all, it is an art of timing and organization. One of the best ways to maintain a beautiful garden is to keep a regular log of plant information and history, successes and failures, and day-to-day ideas. But there’s a key problem with most journals: they don’t give you enough space to write—and those few that do aren’t much to look at. We at Cool Springs Press are well aware of these shortcomings (we’re gardeners ourselves), so we decided to make the journal we’ve always wanted. The result is the Flower Gardener’s Journal and Magnet Gift Set, an undated week-by-week planner from master plantsman Troy B. Marden that’s as beautiful as it is practical. Printed on high-quality stock that will preserve your garden history for years to come, the spacious note pages within are introduced by a general primer on gardening, and the book is rounded out by a plant inventory/history section and ruled graph pages for sketching your garden plans. Helpful gardening tips throughout offer seasonally appropriate advice as you go along, and the included tin of flower-themed magnets makes this the perfect gift for the gardener in your life (or for yourself). Decorated with gorgeous full-color illustrations and fitted with a durable wire binding, the Flower Gardener’s Journal and Magnet Gift Set is bound to make that favorite trowel a little bit jealous.
