How does this garden planner work?

Using Microsoft Excel Software, this garden planner provides an all-inclusive space to organize all your gardening information and ideas. With 15 pre-formatted worksheets and over 32 pages of printable information, you won’t lose track of any steps involved in planning, planting, tending, and harvesting your garden plants.

When they are printed, the garden planner sheets fit perfectly in a binder so you can take them right out to the greenhouse or garden with you. Take notes and record plant information on the spot while tending the garden!

Why is this garden planner different?

Printable garden planning sheets don’t offer enough detail, nor do they give you the ability to edit your work. On the other hand, garden planner websites and apps have a lot of stored plant information but don’t allow the user to customize or add specific design details tailored to the project.

This planner does all this and more. The only computer skills needed to operate this planner are the ability to type, copy, and paste. Previous Excel experience is not required. There are additional instructions, examples, and tips throughout each section to help guide you and ensure you get the most out of this powerful tool. There is also a PDF version of every worksheet that is printable. If you prefer to do your garden planning with pencils or markers, you can print the pdf and fill it out by hand.

Why Use Excel?

Microsoft Excel is ideal for a garden planner because it allows you to organize and save multiple worksheets of information in one file. You can then save a new copy every year and look back at what worked or didn’t work from the previous season.

Since Excel uses cells or “boxes”, it works perfectly for mapping square feet in a garden space. You can also draw and move custom shapes around to create a diagram of all the components in your garden and label them!

This planner also uses Excel formulas to take the information you enter and calculate germination rates, expenses, and inventory. All the formatting and setup have been done for you, so all you have to do is imagine and build the garden of your dreams.

Can you plan flower beds, greenhouses, or orchards?

Absolutely! Since this garden planner allows you to create custom labels for all your garden bed components, you can create layouts for flowers, herbs, shrubs, berry bushes, and fruit trees. There is complete flexibility and freedom for the designer. Customize the size, shape, and label for any plant.

Track seed starting and planting, create plant profiles, plan long-term landscaping projects, and map layouts and designs for any cultivar you choose.
