A four-month garden planning system with customized growing schedules for zones 4-10, plus eight fresh recipes featuring your late spring harvests.

That first warm day in March gets me every time. You know the one—when the breeze finally loses its bite and carries the earthy scent of melting snow. After staring at frozen ground all winter, suddenly there’s that subtle shift. The soil begins to soften. Tiny green points of garlic and daffodils poke through last fall’s mulch. And every gardener feels that same irresistible urge to get their hands in the dirt again. This is what makes spring gardening pure magic—it’s all about fresh starts, endless possibilities, and the simple thrill of watching those first brave seedlings push up toward the sun.

As a gardener, I’ve always found spring to be the most exhilarating and, sometimes, the most challenging season. The timing must be precise: sow too early, and frost claims your tender seedlings; wait too long, and you miss the cool-season window that spring-loving crops require. Each growing zone presents its own rhythms and requirements, from the patient wait of Zone 4 gardeners for the last frost to pass, to Zone 10 growers already tending their early harvests.

Our 2025 Spring Garden Planning Calendar Kit grew from a simple truth: successful spring gardening is all about timing and preparation. Through my years of gardening and connecting with growers across different climate zones, I’ve learned that what works in coastal California won’t serve a gardener in Minnesota. Yet every zone offers its own unique opportunities for a abundant spring harvest.

The 2025 Spring Garden Planning Calendar Kit embraces these differences. Inside, you’ll find month-by-month guidance tailored to your specific growing zone, spanning the crucial spring months of March through June. Each calendar page not only tells you what to plant and when, but provides ample space to record your own garden’s journey—those vital notes about when the first peas flowered, or which cherry variety ripened earliest.

But this kit offers more than just planting schedules. In the recipe section, you’ll discover eight dishes that celebrate the distinct flavors of spring: tender lettuce leaves, sweet garden peas, and the first cherries of the season. These recipes honor that magical moment when you can walk into your garden, harvest the day’s bounty, and transform it into a meal within hours.

Whether you’re a first-time gardener with a few containers on your patio or a seasoned grower managing multiple beds, this calendar kit serves as your companion through the spring months. It’s designed to help you make the most of every growing day, while leaving room for the experimental nature of gardening—the true joy of trying new varieties, noting what thrives, and learning from each season’s lessons.

As you turn these pages and begin plotting your spring garden, remember that each seed planted carries the promise of harvest, and every garden, no matter its size, holds the potential for abundance. Let’s embrace the unique rhythm of spring gardening together, and make this growing season your most rewarding yet.
