Garden Movement Menu: ten garden tasks to try at your own pace

12-Week Movement Tracker: tick each day you spend time in the garden

Seed and Planting Log: what you sowed, when, and how it went

Made to go alongside the book The Garden Gym: Discovering Strength, Health, and Purpose Through Backyard Gardening, and it works on its own too. No gardening experience needed.

Please note: some phone and web-browser PDF viewers do not save what you type. For best results on a screen, open it in Adobe Acrobat Reader, or print the pages.

A note on safety: gardening is physical work. Start gently and choose tasks that feel comfortable. If you have a health condition or have been inactive, talk with your doctor before starting a new activity. This workbook is a planning and journaling tool, not medical advice.
