The Seasons Bundle: 2027 Gardening Calendar & Almanac
Two companions for the year ahead. The calendar goes on the wall and tells you what to sow, grow and harvest each month. The Almanac sits by the back door or on the bedside table, with the tides, moon phases, night skies, folklore and recipes for the same months. Between them they cover the garden and everything beyond it, from January to December 2027.
Bought together, the pair costs £29.99, compared with £32.54 bought separately.
What's in the bundle
- Growing Through the Seasons 2027 Gardening Calendar by Isla Middleton. A wall calendar with an original linocut by Devon printmaker Isla Middleton for every month. This year's theme is growing fruit, vegetables and flowers together. The monthly growing notes are written by her sister Bryony Middleton, Co-Head Gardener at the Sharpham Trust in Devon, and cover what to sow and harvest, practical growing and wildlife tips, moon phases, bank holidays and seasonal festivals. Printed in Exeter on paper made from agricultural waste fibre. 300 × 300mm closed, 300 × 600mm open, with a hole for hanging. Now in its eighth edition.
- The Almanac: A Seasonal Guide to 2027 by Lia Leendertz. A month-by-month guide to the natural year in Britain and Ireland. Each chapter has tide tables, sunrise and sunset times and moon phases, along with constellation guides, wildlife, folklore and seasonal recipes, including the much-loved Cake of the Month. Useful for planning walks, wildlife watching, meteor showers and days at the coast.
How the two work together
Use the calendar to plan the garden, from first sowings in late winter to the autumn harvest. Turn to the Almanac for what's happening outside the garden in the same month: when the tides are lowest, which meteor shower is due, what's in flower in the hedgerow and what to bake with it.
A gift for gardeners
A Christmas, birthday or Secret Santa present for gardeners, allotment holders and anyone who likes to keep track of the seasons. Both are dated 2027, so give them before the new year to get full use of them.
