I love being able to leaf back through them to see my notes with little details like when the larkspur bloomed, when the first fall frost arrived, when when the first sweet pea seeds were sown, or when the aphids usually show up in the hoophouse.Įach to-do list was developed based on over a decade of working in my own cutting garden. I have a soft spot for beautiful journals and big calendars and I always keep my calendars from year to year. I use my iPhone to keep up to speed and connected, but there is nothing quite like putting a pen to paper to plot out my latest dream for Floret or map out my schedule and to-do list for the coming weeks and months. For as long as I can remember I’ve relied on a wall calendar to keep track of all of the details as I plot and plan out the year to come.
Each month features a big, bold image of seasonal flowers (some of my very favorites ever captured here on the farm) along with little reminders of key garden-related tasks to do each month. Nicole was able to take our photos, monthly task lists, and other random ideas for the calendar and turn it into a big, beautiful calendar featuring some of our most popular photos of the farm. As the Art Director for Southern Weddings magazine, Nicole has an incredible eye for design and an inspiring ‘can-do’ attitude that made her a joyful partner on the project. I was thrilled to have the opportunity to team up with super talented graphic designer Nicole Yang to create the Floret calendar, post cards and special growing instruction cards included with each and every packet of seeds. So that meant getting my idea for a Floret Calendar off the ground required the assistance from someone with that skill set. It’s been a labor of love for ALL of us here at Floret. The truth is, I have a great little group of ladies (and Chris) on my team working to support me, especially with launch of Floret Seeds and the expansion of the Floret Shop. (You can read more about that in my Design*Sponge post). There’s no way I could do it “all” by myself. I get asked all the time how I find time to do it all.

Today I want to share a little bit about how the our Floret calendar came together, plus offer a fun little giveaway.
Over the course of the past few weeks, I’ve shared a few behind-the-scenes stories about the creative process involved with some of the products now available in the Floret Shop.
