I find this calendar very useful.
It has very good information about gardening. At the end, it has an outdoor planting table that sgives the best dates and favorable moon for planting various fruits and vegetables.
It also has humorous notes concerning the moon (pink, full, wolf,snow, milk); special days [not funny](St. Patricks, May, Mothers, Valentine), and other reading matter.
The flower, fruit, and animal picures on each month are beautiful and the naration gives potential former and present uses (medicinal,beauty, etc..) or values.
The "Best Bets for Butterflies" gives us beneficial learning that will encourage butterflies into our yards and supply food for each stage; catepiller (larva), and adult (butterfly). That means nector from flowers for the adults and host plants for the catepiller. It even gives the particular host plant types for each group of butterfly catepiller (larva) discussed, which will draw the adult butterflies in to lay their eggs.
I enjoy the calendar very much.

Farmer's Almanac calendars have always been filled with interesting plant and enviromental info as well as "garden wisdom of the ages". But this special anniversary edition has beautiful and colorful plant illustrations. It's now as lovely to hang on the wall as it is interesting to read. I hope they keep up the new format. A real deal at this price.

I buy this calendar every year when a new one comes out. The smaller size allows it to fit in my kitchen drawers instead of hanging on a wall. I also like the fact that I can write in the space for each day since there is enough room.

This calendar is great! It has a lot of great info! Very helpful with my
gardening!

I love the Farmer's Almanac Gardening calendar because it provides useful, interesting gardening information specific for each month. It also provides more details about the lunar phases than most calendars. That and the artwork is so charming in a folksy kind of way. I plan on having a Farmer's Almanac Gardening calendar in my kitchen every year.

Far from what we think of as the the "old farmers" image. This calendar has beautiful art work. The gardening information that is added to each month is really fun to read, and informative. I go out of my way to have one every year. If they are sold out locally, I go online to purchase one or more. The true test of these calendars is that friends who don't garden enjoy them as much as I do.

This calendar offers daily bits of interesting information, from gardening tips to what stage the moon is in! This is a great calendar for all to enjoy.

always interesting and entertaining if not meteorologically accurate!
a perennial favorite! pun intended!

I buy this calendar every year because I am a farm kid who loves to garden. Each month contains information about plants, historical-type facts, and tips for making anything grow better. Last year's edition contains a mention of the moon's cycles and names (Full Cold Moon, Full Snow Moon, New Moon, etc) and a mention of holidays/celebrations of the past and present (St. Lucia, Christmas, etc) and garden/nature-related poetry/advice sprinkled throughout. There is a delightful illustration for each month of a bird or plants corresponding to that particular month. Each calendar is well put together and always beautiful and useful. You can count on the wisdom of Farmer's Almanac annually. It is comforting to be able to count on its familiar return.
