I’ll be recording a YouTube video very soon on something I’ve been working on for a few weeks. My Complete Garden System using Notion. Of course, I’ll be sharing my template here for free so you can duplicate and use it to help in your garden too.
I’m pretty pleased with this one, even if I do say so myself. There’s always room for tweaks and improvements and that’s what led me to create this brand new system. I posted a video about how I use Notion in the garden a few months ago (template available for free on my Notion templates page). This has been handy for tracking my seeds, however, I wanted a system that helped me stay on top of my whole garden, including established shrubs and trees and all the jobs I need to do.
So, what can you expect in my Complete Garden System template? Here’s a sneak peak…
I make use of gallery view (which is so satisfying to behold). One of the really cool ways I’ve used it is to give me views of the garden throughout the seasons. I’ve set up Spring/Summer/Autumn/Winter gallery views and I’ve attached pictures of plants in my garden taken during the different seasons. This gives me, at a glance, a visual reminder of what the garden looks like at different times of the year. It’s fantastic!
I’ve made use of the timeline view to help me track pruning tasks and flowering windows. A really handy way to see what jobs are coming up and when I can expect the plants in my garden to be in bloom.
In addition, I have a board to keep track of my seed growing progress. It tracks the seeds from indoor seed tray, to coldframe, all the way to the garden.
I have a view to show me all of my edibles, so I can stay on top of my home grown produce.
There are even views that show me which plants I’ve introduced to my garden and which ones I inherited when I moved in.
The whole system lets me keep notes on plant care instructions, sowing instructions, light and soil preferences, pruning instructions and more.
It’s been a bit of a labour of love and I can’t wait to show it to you and share the template so you can crack on with snapping pictures of your garden plants, tracking your jobs, and ultimately enjoying a more productive and organised garden.
Keep an eye on my YouTube channel for the video demonstration and link to the template. Coming soon.
