What Is a Garden Planner?

A garden planner is a type of journal or document that contains a gardener, homeowner, or lawn architect’s plans when it comes to designing a garden. It also contains images and graphic designs, such as a sketch map, that shows the area of the garden. The garden planner is a very useful tool since it can help the gardener determine what they need to plant when they should be planting, and what day or weeks should the maintenance be done. 

How to Create a Garden Planner?

Unlike regular to-do lists, goal lists, and daily planners, a garden planner is much more skill-specific and caters only to one type of activity which is gardening. With a small journal and pen, or a digitized template on your digital device, you only need to follow these steps so you can make your own planner without a hitch. 

1. Provide Specifications

The first thing you will need to do is write down the important details pertaining to the project such as the land area where you want to grow a garden. You may also write the kind of plants or flowers you want to grow in the area and the quantity of each species. If you are doing landscape architecture for a company, you can also write down the requests from your client and how they want the job done. Specifications make it easier for you to work around your initial plans, especially if you are thinking about making a hard blueprint copy of the proposed garden design.

2. Break Down Budgets

Another thing that is very essential when planning to decorate a garden is the budget. Create a separate page for the budget plan and the cost analysis for all items to be bought for the garden. You can even include the labor fee in case you are working for someone else as a garden expert. When writing down the budget, make sure that it is similar to what you have presented to the contractor just in case you already have a written service agreement or work contract.

3. Always Factor In Weather

Whether you are yet to design the garden or just perform routine maintenance on them, always take the weather into consideration whenever you are doing those activities. Also, it would be better to do research about the climate in case you want to plant flowers or other green plants that are very sensitive to light or cold weather. Furthermore, you can plan ahead about what to do with the plants in the garden every time a season comes and goes. 

4. Make Space For Notes

In case there are changes happening in your plan, whether it is from your side or the contractor, it is always good to provide a space where you can write those in your planner. Notes are also helpful if you want to remember any additional information such as new requests, changes in budget, maintenance issues, as well as new ideas for design.
