In addition to reading through the content pages, this book contains journaling pages to be actively used by the gardener. You are invited to remove these pages, (most easily done with the spiral bound book) and arrange them in a loose leaf binder using sheet protectors. This will allow you to fill out information forms and then sort them according to categories that make the most sense for your garden. Using dividers, you can for example group shade garden plants together, or index the various lilies you have in s section of their own. Seed packets and pictures of each plant can easily be slipped into each sheet protector along with the plant’s information.
