This month I am going to be using a prompt list to encourage myself to keep a regular garden journal again. This has been inspired by Inktober which is an art challenge where participants sketch something in ink, every day for the month of October. There is an official list, but I have created my own. I am calling this challenge Inktober in the Garden. Each prompt is just one word related to gardens and gardening and is aimed to get us thinking in different ways about the beauty of our cultivated space. 

Here is the list:

1. Pollinator; 2. Fruit; 3. Scented; 4. Germinate; 5. Wild; 6. Sun; 7. Growth; 8. Mulch; 9. Tendril; 10. Water; 11. Sow; 12. Flower; 13. Soil; 14. Shade; 15. Cultivated; 16. Climbing; 17. Root; 18. Invertebrate; 19. Companion; 20. Textured; 21. Supported; 22. Leaf; 23. Herb; 24. Seed; 25. Insect; 26. Weed; 27. Compost; 28. Tools; 29. Seedling; 30 Pod; 31. Harvest. 

If you would like to join me, you can use each prompt or just dip into the ones that inspire you the most. I would love to see your pages! If you are on social media you can use the hashtag #inktoberinthegarden or you can email me your pages at [email protected]. 

If you don’t have a garden, you can use the prompts to get inspired by your local park or green space.
 

I have created a blog post with this information. You can find it here: Inktober in the Garden. 

I am also excited to share the news that I have opened my online store! You can find it over on the Journaling With Nature website.
