A garden planning kit including a book having a bottom panel, first spiral binder attached to a marginal edge of the bottom panel, second spiral binder attached to an opposite marginal edge of the bottom panel, and a plurality of transparent overlays. A first overlay is attached to the first spiral binder, and a second overlay and a third overlay are attached to the second spiral binder. All of the overlays may be moved on their respective spiral binders between a first position generally overlying the bottom panel and a second position away from the bottom panel. The first overlay depicts the plan view of the lower portion of preselected plants. The second overlay has blooms of said preselected plants at a first time of year depicted on it, and the third overlay depicts blooms of the plants at a second time of year different from the first time of year. The second overlay and the third overlay may be located in the first position over the first overlay one at a time for viewing the appearance of the garden to be planted at different times of the year.
