Layouts in Karolina's Garden-Themed Planner
Layouts are described in detail for Karolina’s garden planner.
Title Page

The first layout includes a circular gray watercolor area with a quote in it. In a print font, I wrote “The trials and tribulations of Karolina’s garden.”
Year At A Glance
This year at a glance, features 12 months, January 2019 through December 2019, in a calendar format. Split between 3 pages are the 12 months; each page features 4 months. Purple flowers are lining the top border of the page next to the header. The main header is 2019 in a stencil-inspired font.
Purple Garden Goals

The next page is the garden goals page is mostly blank with a bold purple font header.
Purple Garden Planning

For this next layout, the header on these layouts is in purple calligraphy cursive. Further, the remainder of the pages is the outline of a rectangular garden. I left the garden plots blank.
How to Dry Herbs Guide

Rebecca specifically requested this layout. BuzzFeed is the original creator of the layout.
Veggie Tracker

The veggie tracker is very similar to a habit tracker but specifies 3 steps to various vegetables marked monthly. For this layout, “sow,” “plant,” and “harvest” are tracked for each month and vegetable.
Monthly Layout
This monthly layout is dissimilar to all monthly spreads I have done. The page is broken down into weeks. Additionally, there is a mini-calendar of the month, a space for a quote or doodle, a concerns column, and another column for the next month.
