Planning a garden is much easier when everything lives in one place. That’s why I created this free garden planner printable—a simple, printable PDF that helps you plan your vegetable garden from start to finish.

I use this planner every season to track what I’m growing, where it’s planted, and what actually works in my garden. It keeps me organized, saves time, and helps me avoid repeating mistakes from past years.

If you want a low-stress way to plan your garden—without apps or complicated spreadsheets—this printable is for you.

What’s Included in This Free Garden Planner Printable

This printable garden planner PDF is designed to be practical and easy to use. You can print only the pages you need or keep the full set in a binder.

Inside the planner, you’ll find:

• when to start seeds indoors
• when to plant seedlings outdoors
• the best companion plants for your garden
• where to find free mulch
• ​how much rain you get so you can have an effective watering schedule
• weekly garden tasks
• seasonal garden tasks
• ​pest and pest control methods
• and, we have a printable template for a seed envelope so you can even save your own garden seeds for planting next year

Everything is laid out clearly so you can glance at a page and know exactly what’s going on in your garden.

How to Use This Garden Planner PDF

You don’t need to fill out every page at once. Start with what matters most for your season.

Use the seed-starting pages early in the year to plan indoor sowing. As planting time approaches, switch to the outdoor transplant and companion planting pages. During the growing season, rely on the weekly and seasonal task pages to stay focused and consistent.

As problems pop up, use the pest tracking pages to record what you see and what works. At the end of the season, save seeds using the printable seed envelope and write notes you’ll be grateful for next year.

This planner grows with you as the season progresses.

Who This Free Printable Garden Planner Is For

This free garden planner printable works well for beginner gardeners who want clear guidance, busy gardeners who need simple structure, vegetable gardeners working with raised beds or in-ground plots, and anyone who prefers paper planning over digital tools.

You don’t need a large garden or advanced experience. The planner adapts to your space, your schedule, and your gardening style.

Why I Prefer a Printable Garden Planner

I’ve tried apps and digital tools. I always come back to paper.

A printable garden planner lets you write notes while you’re outside, flip through pages quickly, customize sections for your needs, and keep everything visible in one place. This planner is intentionally simple so it supports your garden instead of adding more clutter.
