American Horticultural Society Weekly Planner for 2026

Thursday, 18 December 2025


Every day is different.You made plans to visit to a garden. More pleasantly anticipated than an appointment with the dentist but neither should be forgotten. This is where a weekly planner / garden diary becomes an aide memoir if, that is, you remember to write things down. Easier to develop the habit if the weekly planner is attractive.


As, for example, the American Horticultural Society's Weekly Planner for 2026.
Hard cover, perfect binding, even ribbon bookmark to help you keep your place.


The frontispiece has a full page illustration (BTW-all 52 images are full page)
from 1920 that provides not merely I.D. for the flowers, it also names the artist.
There is an introduction to the American Horticultural Society and information,
in general, as to sources and dates (from the years 1774 to 1925) and the artists.


A two page spread offers the year at a glance. You will find it useful, I expect, if
you make note of birthdays, anniversaries, and other important dates in advance.


There is ample space beyond appointments to jot down notes - the weather was sunny or wet,
were Virginia bluebells, Mertensia virginiana, in flower in your garden or just on this page.


Illustrations are each unique, even when the flowers have a family resemblance. Ratibida is shown alone .
while individual flowers add to this Helianthus. A different Helianthis has even more botanical details.

As there are no page numbers it was not possible to have an index of which flowers are where displayed.
You will just have to appreciate and enjoy each one as you turn the page and discover it.


Images and week shift from right to left as each page of pictures has front and back images.

The convenient size of 7.5 inches x 9.5 inches fits nicely on your desk. Week at a glance
lets you make note of year/month/day, then record meetings and appointments, reminders
for your schedule week by week. Enjoy 52 illustrations of native plants thru your 2026 year.
