Although I am passionate about outdoors, gardening, etc., I have a very tiny suburban, almost urban backyard to work with. Still there are very many critters that call my backyard home, or at least a place to eat and hide daily. I wanted to learn about nature journaling because I like to jot down notes about the garden for future reference, sort of my own personal backyard almanac. Every yard is it's own sort of micro-climate and the timeline for what I'm growing and the things that happen in my garden differ from others in my same area. Anyway, I thought nature journaling would be a nice and useful way to document the life of my little garden. Of course anytime I am able to get out into the outdoors I will be able to add to my journal that way as well.
