This Moon Calendar is a concise and practical guide to growing edible and ornamental gardens. The double-sided laminated calendar has easy-to-follow directions. Discover the optimum time to plant, fertilise, cultivate and even when to fish to maximise your success.
The practice of moon gardening is based on the moon’s gravitational effect on the moisture in both plants and the soil, and to a lesser extent, on the effect of moonlight. Following the Moon Calendar ensures seeds germinate sooner; plants are stronger and have higher crop yields.
There are a few annual moon calendars and posters available but they only last for a year and then you have to buy another one! What makes this calendar different is it’s a perpetual model that you just reset each month, year after year – a much more sustainable choice! Even better, it applies to any climate, anywhere in the world. [Scroll down to read more benefits]

7 Moon Calendar Benefits
This calendar is the best choice because it:
never goes out of date (less waste and cheaper!);
is great value (a perpetual model = buy once, use forever);
is laminated (long lasting and easy to wipe clean outdoors);
works in any climate, anywhere in the world;
is just SO simple to use;
is designed by farmers whose crop success depends on it working; and
includes companion planting tips on the reverse side as an added bonus!
Why should I choose THIS Moon Calendar?
There are a few annual lunar calendars and posters available. However, other lunar calendars only last for a year. Then you have to buy another one! What makes this moon calendar so unique is it’s a perpetual model that you just reset each month, year after year. A much more sustainable and very economical choice! It’s also VERY simple and easy to follow – no complicated or confusing instructions.
The full-colour A4-size calendar divides the 28-day lunar cycle into six periods of various lengths for different activities. It follows the waxing (rising) and waning (falling) moon cycle. This provides you with an invaluable monthly gardening routine that shows you the optimum times for each activity.
The colourful calendar has a laminated finish, making it even more practical for constant use indoors or outside in your garden shed. Just wipe it over or keep it on your fridge with a magnet.
On the first day of each month, simply align the new moon symbol on the rotating wheel with the date of the new moon for that month. Then just check the recommended activities for each day of the month. You’ll find the optimum times for sowing above and below ground crops, preparing soil, transplanting, pruning, fertilising, weeding, harvesting and even fishing!
Shirley keeps her Moon Calendar on the kitchen bench to sow seeds at the best time for quick germination. Read her review on the results of her experiments!
What if I don’t follow the Moon Calendar exactly?
Life happens! So if you can’t manage to follow it now and then, don’t worry. You’ll have first-hand evidence of the difference that timing makes in your garden and further proof that working with nature’s cycles has on your plants.
Do your own experiments! Try sowing seeds at the optimum time to take advantage of soil moisture. Then sow some when the timing is poor. Record the different results. How fast did your seeds germinate? How many? How healthy were the plants? Compare the yields. Test out fertilising and propagating and compare your results. The best proof will be your own experiences.
Do you offer a discount for multiple purchases?
Yes! The calendar is great value and a practical gift for any gardener, so we know many customers like to buy one for themselves and another as a gift. This also saves on postage. We offer discounts for purchases of 3 or more moon calendars. Many of our customers love it so much they buy in bulk to get the best discount and gift to friends and family. Enter the quantity you would like to purchase to check the discount applicable.
Yes! If you live in the United States and prefer to order through Amazon, you can order here. We have only recently listed the Moon Calendar on Amazon but the product is the same.

Will this lunar calendar work in my climate?
The Moon Calendar works anywhere in the world in any climate. Personally, I’ve used the same calendar in subtropical Queensland, Australia for over 10 years. It is still going strong and looks like new! Customers in Mediterranean, Subtropical, Temperate, Tropical, Arid and Cool/Mountain climates in the USA, Asia, Australia/NZ, South America, South Africa and Europe are using it successfully.
Its unique design allows you to adjust the new moon dates for your country each month (which I send with it). So you just simply turn the dial on the first day of each month 12 times a year and follow what to sow when.

VIDEO TESTIMONIAL
Helen C – Sydney, Australia shares her thoughts about using the Moon Calendar:
Michelle V, Texas US: “I have the Moon Calendar and it’s amazing! Extremely easy to use and follow without all the fuss of the other moon calendars. I tried it for the first time this fall and was thrilled with the outcome. In Texas you get two planting seasons. Much more produce than I’ve ever had. I’d like to order 5 more calendars for friends.”
Felicity Geary, France: “Thank you so much for the calendar which arrived safely in France today. Really quick compared to most Oz posting! Just checked to find that I shouldn’t have planted all those seeds yesterday but hey. Better luck next time. Thank you.”
Trish McGill, Australia: “I have been using the moon phases to garden for some time but had never seen such a fantastic compact and perpetual product.”
Sue Lees, Australia: I have been using the moon calendar now for a couple of years and found the results to be very successful. It focuses me on the right tasks to do at certain times of the month. I now have a system of taking cuttings, potting them up & planting out a few months later. Because I have done this on the moon calendar all the plants have been strong & healthy. I also grow microgreens at the appropriate time & we have a steady supply of wonderful nutrients.
Jack, US: “My moon calendar arrived yesterday. In perfect condition. It’s a very high-quality product and I look forward to using it. Thank you for your concern for your customers. You are a model for other businesses!”
Elena Hofferber, California, US: “Hi Anne, I love the moon calendar since it makes my gardening easier. May I add how quickly it arrived to California?”
Deborah Geebel, Bli Bli, QLD Australia: “I have used my moon calendar now for about 4 years and like it lots.”
Lee Moles, Maleny Garden Club, QLD Australia: “I love my moon calendar. I’d like to order 3 more moon calendars. As for my experience, the cuttings phase did seem to work so well but the time of year is also against me I think for that particular plant. Bulbs – storm lillies – have gone in according to the calendar and are booming. It helps me plan. I always have a list that’s bigger than the time available. It helps me prioritise. I planted garlic a few weeks ago during the ‘plant bulbs now’ time. I planted some a week before that, in a ‘plant’ time but not for bulbs. The 2nd planting of garlic have sprouted and are 5cm high. The others are yet to show. Same source stock. You can’t deny the proof of your own eyes. It also applies to pots and propagating. Not that it shouldn’t, but the success/failures are now predictable.”
Wendy Jurco, Melbourne, Australia: “Hi Anne, I found the moon calendar very helpful in growing some tomatoes in pots and spring onions in polystyrene boxes. I added fertilizer as per the moon calendar and planted by the moon calendar. Everything grew well. As we live on a new block that has clay soil, that is why I used the pots and boxes. The tomatoes have self seeded in the pots and I have used the moon calendar again to fertilize them at the right time. A person that I talked to told me his father also grew vegetables by the moon. They did an experiment and grew vegetables using the cycles of the moon and another plot without using the right cycles of the moon. He told me that vegies that were planted at the right time grew better than the others.”
Sylvia, Australia: “I love the moon calendar and use it all the time. My friends even ring me to ask when is the best planting time!”
Kathy McDonald, Sydney, Australia: “I have been using it for a number of years. It’s excellent. No problems. I think gardening by the moon cycles really works and this tool is very good.”
Simon Davey, NSW Australia: “I heard good things about cultivation by the lunar cycle. After looking around, I decided this perpetual calendar was a straightforward tool. Seeking an inclusive evaluation, I bought a few of them and gave them to garden-produce inspired friends of mine. Now that I understand the moon’s influence, no surprises that people are experiencing consistent positive results.”
Abeer Baghdadi, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia: “Your Moon Calendar helped a lot. I got the best results with leafy greens. I used to have leggy lettuce leaves and other greens, but using the calendar made a huge difference with plants like tomatoes. I noticed that when I don’t use the calendar the plants would struggle, but when the second cycle of the moon comes the plants recuperate. So using the calendar is good in giving these plants a good start.”
Mark Shaw, Hawaii: “This is a fantastic tool for the gardener. It is so easy to use, very durable and the results are immediate. I have been using it now for 3 planting cycles, and the results have been very noticeable in how the plants seeds germinate and how they grow. I call it “My wheel of Fortune”. I highly recommend this as a gardening tool.”
Theresa Letch, WA Australia: “I love the Moon Calendar, and will use it as a guide when I start planting.”
Barbara Langdon, US: “I bought your moon calendar a few years ago and am moving surviving fruit trees and berry bushes while following it.”
Brooke Jacobson: “I started moon gardening earlier this year and have noticed a huge difference! Love it.”
Lynda Vertigan, QLD Australia: “Planted my ‘above ground’ seeds on Monday & planting some ‘above ground’ plants over the next couple of days. This method definitely makes a difference!”
Lee Moles, QLD Australia: “I used to think gardening by a moon calendar was a little bit like astrology or numerology. Just a stretch too far. So I set out to prove it to myself. A single bulb of garlic, split into two piles of cloves. The first lot planted when the mood took me. The second two and a bit weeks later and according to the moon calendar. The second lot shot up like there’s no tomorrow. The first lot have never appeared. Recently I gave a talk to the Chinchilla Garden Club and was sharing my success stories about the calendar. 3 hands shot up and it seems that one of them has run a commercial enterprise [for 3 generations] according to the moon. The other two run successful farms. So now all my gardening jobs are considered in light of the position of the moon. I become happier with the results every day. And more convinced it works.”
Jeanie Battersby, WA Australia: “Just wanted to let you know how excited we are since following the Moon calendar and mixing our potting mix following your Guide. We put in 16 variety of seeds and within 5 days we have 13 up. 5 only took three days to emerge. The weather has just changed overnight here in Rockingham, WA from extremely hot and muggy to cool and threatening thunderstorm so have kept babies under patio today. We have made up more potting mix for our root crops just waiting for the right days to plant them. This is the best success in germinating we have ever had.”
Daniela, US: “I gave the Moon Calendar to a friend as a present and she is very happy with the quality of the product. It’s easy to use and the enclosed “how to use” instructions are helpful. This calendar can be used for a long time. I personally thought the customer service was outstanding. I would purchase from this seller again! A pleasant shopping experience!”
Bob Miller, US: “While I have only had your Moon Calendar two weeks now, I can see and appreciate the value of the product. For years I have bought and used the latest version of the Farmer’s Almanac and struggled through the maze of confusing data to get down to the meat of what and when to attack the tasks at hand. With your Moon Calendar everything pertinent and needed to know is simply right there in front of me. I am loving it! Am looking forward to using this as my “go to” to help me improve my gardening techniques.”
Janice, US: “I have received my moon calendars. They are lovely and I am so excited about using them this coming gardening season!”
I have a small container garden and am a beginner gardener. I really didn’t know whether timing my planting to work in with the monthly moon cycles would have any effect or not. I don’t have a big budget for my garden and don’t want to waste money killing my plants, so figured this tool might be helpful.
I found that the vast majority of the rosemary cuttings I took during the new moon phase and potted up, were successful. I’m thrilled with my first attempt at propagating using the moon phases. I also planted lettuce and herbs at the ideal time of the month and noticed they grew quickly and were really healthy. I’ve been able to enjoy some early successes, so this has boosted my confidence to keep learning and growing my small garden. All you have to do is just follow the dates on the calendar… Highly recommend
I received my moon calendar halfway through the planting season here in Canada. When my first crop of beans were done, I planted half the garden with more beans in accordance with the moon calendar. The other half I planted when the calendar said it wasn’t a good time. The first half started coming up in 6 days, the other half has taken 10 days. As the plants are still going, I’ll report back when we start yielding some beans. Next year I will plant all my garden when the moon calendar says it’s a good time.
23 September 2018 Update – The moon calendar is the real deal!
I just picked the last of the beans today. The weather is starting to change dramatically and the plants are starting to die off. The final result of my experiment is this; the beans that were planted in accordance with the moon calendar did really well. The other bean plants didn’t produce any beans. They did flower and given more time they would have produced beans, but the nights are getting really cool here and the rain has moved in. My final observation is that the moon calendar is the real deal. Make sure you get yours before the next growing season.
I have been using the moon calendar now for a couple of years & found the results to be very successful. It focuses me on the right tasks to do at certain times of the month.

We refer to it constantly
Gail Matthews –
Our Village Community Garden in Townsville bought a Moon Planting Calendar from Anne and we as a team of volunteers refer to it constantly to plant, fertilize etc accordingly.
I love gardening with my moon calender. It’s one of the best gardening tools I have. Definately notice the difference in your garden and produce once you become a moon gardener and this tool makes it so much easier.
I recently asked Anne when was the best time/month to prune my mulberry tree. She very promptly answered my question very comprehensively gave me all the information I needed. Thanks Anne

Love my Moon Gardening Calendar
Nic –
Just love this beautiful moon gardening calendar. It is so easy to use and has made a big difference in my little container gardens flourishing and harvesting. Highly recommend! Moon gardening opens up a whole new understanding and exciting adventure! Thank you Anne:)
I was very excited to come across your moon calendar. However, with all the commitment in life, time for garden can’t always be planned. I often miss the optimal time for planting things.
Having said that, I have planted two types of beans for this season (my favorite Rattlesnake bean and Purple bean, both climbing variety). When I sowed the Rattlesnake bean, I forgot to follow the moon cycle, it took a long time to germinate and also not all the seeds germinated, some were chewed by slugs as soon as they popped out of the ground! When I sow the Purple bean, I followed the moon calendar and sowed accordingly, all the seeds came up and growing strongly. They also look much bigger than the Rattlesnake bean! I’m not sure if it is the moon cycle that did the trick or if the weather/temperature (I’m in Vic) also played a part. I’m going to sow some more Rattlesnake bean in the places where the seeds didn’t germinate the first time following the moon cycle and see what I’ll get.
Thank you so much for such a wonderful product.
I noticed you have a question forum here and I will drop my questions so I can make sure I’m following the calendar correctly.
Both the Moon Calendar and Garden Journal Planner are so helpful. They truly do make gardening easier especially if you are disorganised like me. The bonus is the plants are happier too!
I have bought the Moon Calendar which I love because it makes perfect sense to plant at a time that fits in a plant’s development rather than my timetable. And it’s indestructible and wipes clean easily as do all Anne’s products.
I purchased the Seed Collecting Guide which has the content of a book only in a handy fold out form. It’s incredible how much information is contained in that guide.
Another addition to my gardening shelf is the Microgreens Growing Guide which I really want to get into right now. And instead of viewing numerous “saved” videos, I now have a quick reference guide for every seed plus the Easy Guide to Growing Microgreens. Another well-thought-out and well-set-out guide.
I also purchased the Potting Mix Recipe Guide complete with instructions because I am not happy with the contents of pre-packaged potting mixes.
Finally, I bought the Subtropical Planting Guide because I wanted a quick, easy-to-understand planting guide for the 4 seasons I have where I live. Not only does it list “sowing suggestions” and “garden tasks” for each season, it has a list of what pests to look out for in each season.
These products are the most useful of their kind that I have seen.

Now a Converted 'Moon Gardener'!
Shirley Owens –
I used to think gardening by the moon was all ‘hogwash’ but I’ve just started using Anne’s moon calendar, which I have sitting on my kitchen bench on a recipe book holder, and it really seems to work. I’ve just planted mesclun lettuce seeds in the correct cycle by the moon, using the calendar, and they started popping through in 3 days! I also tried sprouting alfalfa which wasn’t terribly successful, but then realised it was the wrong time. So I started a second lot in the correct moon phase and had much better success. I try to recycle rather than ‘waste’ when I can, so I have some seeds planted in these toilet rolls and used seedling pots. The tray of microgreens outside (seen through the window) were mesclun seeds that we’ve been enjoying in our salads. I’m now a converted ‘moon gardener’!
Essential guide for gardeners of all levels of experience
Sharon McGucken –
I bought this moon calendar after listening to Anne Gibson speak at the Nambour Garden Expo. I am now starting my 3rd year of using it and I’d highly recommend this as the gardener’s companion. I run a school garden-kitchen club and I use the calendar to plan what and when to plant. I teach the children and it is exciting to see the plants yield grow to its capacity with this calendar. Sure we might not succeed in getting to harvest every time due to high temps or pests that feast on our crops, but this calendar helps save money, time and energy at school and in my own home garden. I just wish I could afford to buy all my students this calendar as an end of year gift. Plant by the moon and you’ll reap the rewards!
I haven’t been using the Moon Calendar for long but when I get the phases right (I am old!!!) the results have been very good. I recently raised seedlings from my own seed and all seemed to grow well. I then transplanted them on the correct day and they all survived and appear to be thriving. Two days ago I sowed seed for micro greens and they are already starting to shoot. I would recommend any sceptics out there to give it a try and see for themseves.
Just wanted to let you know how excited we are since following the Moon calendar and mixing our potting mix following your guide. We put in 16 variety of seeds and within 5 days we have 13 up. 5 only took three days to emerge.
