Though Feb was a short month, it seems ages since we had a challenge. I'm excited to see what's going on in March - from snow melting and seed raising to tidying up autumnal gardens and everything in between.

I must apologise for not announcing the changed logo sooner and to be honest, it hasn't really been totally finalised, but we'll get there. A gardeners work is never really done.

Thanks everyone for continuing to produce great content to inspire and motivate us. We love this community - it's your participation above all that keeps it great!

The Challenge

Write a #gardenjournal post! This could be:

• Detailing what's happening in your garden, from successes to failures
• Writing about a friend's garden
• Writing about a visit to a botanical garden or nursery
• Writing about your favourite plant
• Garden produce recipes
• Prepping posts about growing and preserving your own food

The Guidelines

• Please do NOT share ten photos of the SAME plant! Be selective.
• Use the tag #gardenjournal as your first tag
• 300 words minimum - this is not a photo challenge.
• Comment on other posts in the community
• Use #gardenjournal as your first tag and post in the community.
• No AI generated posts please - you will be immediately muted
• If your post is prepping related, use the tag #GARDENPREPPER as well.
• Drop the LINK to your post UNDER THIS POST.
• Challenge runs for ten days and good posts are rewarded with reblogs and upvotes. On occasion HIVE rewards or tips may be sent but are not guaranteed.

Your enthusiasm shines through the content you create and your engagement with community and will be rewarded with upvotes and reblogs, and hopefully lots of engagement from fellow gardeners and Hive folk!

Let's see fab formatting, beautiful photos, and thoughtful post - the kind of post that makes us want to go and tidy our garden!

Tagging #gardenjournal members as a reminder! Please let me know if you'd like to be added or removed from this list.
