FAQs
What exactly is the Gather Gardening Calendar?
It’s a digital gardening companion that lives quietly inside your phone or computer calendar. Once added, it gives you gentle, timely prompts through the year — what to sow, what to plant, what to notice. It’s part planner, part almanac, part moment of calm.
Is it suitable for beginner gardeners?
Absolutely. It’s written for real people with real lives, those who love gardening but don’t always have time to remember when to sow or prune. Each reminder is written clearly and simply, with just enough information to help you act immediately without needing to Google a thing.
Can I use it if I already have another calendar?
Yes. The Gather calendar doesn’t replace or overwrite anything. It simply adds a new layer, a soft thread of gardening wisdom running through your normal appointments and reminders. You can show or hide it whenever you wish.
How do I get it onto my phone?
When you buy the calendar, you’ll receive a small downloadable file called an .ics.
Tap the link and your phone or computer will open it automatically in your usual calendar app, Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, Outlook, or similar. You’ll see a year’s worth of Gather reminders appear instantly. It takes less than a minute, and you only have to do it once.
What kind of gardening does it cover?
It’s designed for home gardens (pots, borders, and small plots) focused on flowers. It follows the British seasons but will feel familiar to anyone in a similar climate.
What happens if I get stuck or it doesn’t load properly?
Don’t worry — it’s almost impossible to break. You can simply download it again from your order email and try once more. I’ve included calm, step-by-step instructions for Apple and Google users, so you won’t get lost along the way.
