Seeds & Stories: Journaling the Garden Life

Whether you're a seasoned gardener or just starting out, documenting your gardening journey can deepen your connection to the soil, sharpen your planning, and celebrate your growth. In this hands-on workshop, participants will learn how to create and maintain a personalized garden journal—from the first spark of inspiration to seed selection, planting, and harvest results.

Through guided activities and creative prompts, you'll explore:

• Planning with Purpose: Setting goals and designing your garden layout
• Seed Stories: Tracking varieties, sources, and germination success
• Seasonal Snapshots: Recording weather patterns, bloom times, and pest management
• Harvest Highlights: Measuring yields, flavor notes, and lessons learned
• Creative Expression: Using sketches, photos, and reflections to enrich your journal

Participants will leave with a starter journal, templates, and inspiration to continue documenting their gardening adventures throughout the seasons.
