Growing Through the Seasons

The "Growing through the Seasons" 2025 calendar, illustrated by Isla Middleton and written by Bryony Middleton, is a guide for gardeners and vegetable lovers. 

It features seasonal illustrations of fruits, vegetables, and flowers, along with practical growing tips for each month, including what to sow and harvest.

The calendars are produced on our PaperWise Natural 150gsm and 295gsm, which is manufactured from 100% agricultural waste - this is the stems and leaves left over the harvest and which is usually left in the field and burnt. You can read all about PaperWise HERE. As you can see from the images PaperWise is a natural shade and is completely unbleached and home compostable too ...a perfect choice for this calendar!

The calendar also includes a full growing chart at the back, providing an overview of the sowing and harvest schedule for the year. 

The calendars are 300mm square in size and are beautifully printed, offset litho by Ashley House Printing in Devon.

Although it's too late for this year, I believe there are plans for a 2025 version, so you can look on the website here: www.islamiddleton.co.uk

The carton is very simply printed offset litho in one colour and blind embossed on the lid. The labels are hand applied to indicate the various different blends.

The cartons are produced by specialist carton and boxmaker Custom Cartons who are based in Romford, Essex and they have made a beautiful job of it.

Grateful thanks to Sina Luck for providing me with the images. Photography by Kathryn Taylor.
