The other day I posted that the new 2010 Farmer’s Almanac Gardening Calendar had arrived, but also noted that I didn’t get one this year. My aunt gave me a really cute mini calendar she thought I’d like (and I did) – Fresh Picked from BrownTrout. I don’t love big calendars because I like my office wall near my desk a little bare, and this calendar being a mini is perfect.
Besides being packed with garden farm goodness, Fresh Picked is a green product. It’s printed with soy and vegetable based inks on sustainable paper from FSC certified forests. I think this one is a great little stocking stuffer. I think if you’re going to buy a paper calendar you should aim for recycled paper – which is the one issue I have with the Garden Almanac calendars.
Below are a few more garden calendars that are also printed on recycled paper… I really like the first one.
A Year of Healthy Living Wall Calendar – features topics that approach food as a nurturing component of life that supports and sustains you. Artful fruit and vegetable photographs along with monthly nutritious recipes and helpful tips.
Dream Gardens 2010 Wall Calendar – a collection of the most beautiful gardens in America. Plus features helpful tips on ways to achieve your own garden bliss and seasonal how-to’s for year round gardening.
I like photo calendars best, but if you like illustrated garden art then Herb Garden 2010 Wall Calendar is pretty slick offering lovely illustrated herbs, birdhouses, and other garden treats.
Kitchen 2010 Deluxe Wall Calendar – has a focus on culinary still-life photography but natural and green foods, plus offers food lore.
