The sapling you planted is a shade tree now. Somewhere, there should be a record of that.
This nature journal is for keeping the slow story of one yard: the first frost, the week the warblers came through, the year the oak finally shaded the feeder. Write a line at a time and, years from now, read back how much changed.
The design: The Yard Across the Years
Three trees stand side by side on one thin line of ground, small, medium and tall, like the same tree drawn years apart. They are painted in soft greens with brown trunks, in a gentle, botanical style.
Below them, THE YARD ACROSS THE YEARS is set in two lines of deep-green serif capitals on a warm ivory cover. The back cover and spine are the same plain ivory, with no printing.
What you write on, and what holds it together
- 150 lined pages, with room for seasons of notes
- Pages tear out cleanly along a perforated edge when a note needs to travel
- A hard, matte cover that holds its shape in a bag and takes the odd bump
- A sewn, flexible spine that opens easily and keeps the pages together
- A comfortable size for a desk, a windowsill or a day bag
Who it's for
Gardeners, backyard birders, new homeowners and anyone who notices when the first leaves turn. It suits a seasonal log, a planting diary or a family record of the yard. A meaningful gift for a housewarming, a birthday, Mother’s or Father’s Day, or the holidays.
Quick answers
How long will 150 pages last?
At about one page a week, it holds close to three years of entries; a line a day fills it more slowly than you might think.
Is it only for trees and gardening?
No. The pages are simply lined, so it works for birds at the feeder, weather, blooms, harvests or the day the kids built the tree swing.
Would it suit a new homeowner?
Yes. Start it in the first season in a new yard, and the three trees on the cover become the story inside.
Care
Keep it dry; wipe the matte cover with a soft, dry cloth.
