Garden Calendars
Knowing when to do what can be a daunting task for any gardener, especially if you are just starting out. Maintaining a weekly garden calendar to keep track of what types of tasks need to be done at which time of year will help your garden be successful. A garden calendar will also help you remember exactly what plants should be planted, transplanted or harvested each week.
On this page you will find a national listing of garden calendars that will help you get started organizing your garden maintenance. These calendars are provided by garden centers, extension centers and gardening organizations from all across the country, and they are organized according to region and state. If we are missing a calendar for your state that you know of, please contact us at info@communitygarden.org so that we can share this information.
You can also use a Garden Calendar Template to help you create your own task list to stay on task all year long.
