2009 Moosey Calendars

This archive page gives me a place to store the old Moosey garden calendars from 2009. Some of the older photographs are just beautiful, and the same days and dates combinations will return one year soon. So these old calendars will be able to be recycled. Yippee!

With the passing of gardening time the Moosey Cats come and go, the Moosey dog gets older and more respectable, and the garden changes - from worse to better? Hmm... Anyway, here's my calendar collection. All are still available to download, free, should you want to.

2009 Moosey Garden Life Calendar

My first 2009 Garden Calendar was an attempt to encapsulate a year in the life of the Moosey garden, its pets and people. I cheated just a little - there were no seriously cold winter photographs. Who needs these?

It was inspired by a technological discovery - hello Photoshop! I learnt how to create cute little thumbnails of my garden pictures - I have over three thousand of these (not joking). Of course they pop up in the directory pages on the web-site.

But like having three thousand daffodil bulbs - what to do with them? Ha! Space must be found, they must all be planted, their flowers enjoyed... The result is a pretty, colourful calendar for 2009, designed not to use up all your printer ink. I used a thicker type of photography card to print my own (sent to sympathetic friends and relations as Christmas presents). You can hang the whole calendar on the wall off clips, or have it spiral bound. Some people like to print off one month at a time to pin on their notice board.

The Garden Life Calendar has new pictures - all taken in the last calendar year - and one month's worth of dates on each A4 sized page. There's a front and back cover, too.

Count the Cats and Dogs

Please enjoy the garden scenes - if bored, you could count the cats (I think there are eight) and dogs (both Rusty and Taj-Dog, the original Moosey canine) in the thumbnail pictures. You might also catch a glimpse of Non-Gardening Partner mowing the house lawns.

2009 Moosey Garden Partners Calendar

The Moosey Garden Partners Calendar, 2009 version, gave me the chance to show my most successful pictures of garden companions. All gardeners understand the value of good neighbours - and plants in the garden do, too. Often by accident I'll place two plants next to each other and get 'it' right, creating a perfect pair.

In the 2009 Moosey Garden Partners Calendar New Zealand Phormiums team up with all sorts of different flowers, there's a beautiful pink peony snuggling up to a perennial purple salvia, roses with clary sage...

2009 Moosey Garden Flowers Calendar

In the year 2009 I proudly presented a new Moosey Flowers Calendar. I used photographs from my own garden - only picking the freshest and the best. No weeds were allowed!

A friend asked if I'd make her a calendar full of 'pretty girlie flowers' to cheer her up at work. Sweet and simple - and a most enjoyable calendar to make! Many months are represented by colourful annuals, like calendulas, poppies, violas and pansies. I've grown these all from seed. Here it is for 2009, hopefully withstanding the test of time...

2009 Moosey Flowers Calendar - Half-Size (PDF 5.0 MB)

There are two styles of calendar. One has full page images (to use up all your printer ink, oops) and will bind nicely into a flip-over wall calendar. The half-size has one image and one month's dates per page. These are great for printing off one at a time and pinning up on the kitchen noticeboard.

2009 Moosey Journeys Calendar

Beautiful New Zealand - a clean green land which is so proud of its scenery. I've created a calendar with photographs from my many journeys hiking in the mountains and valleys of Canterbury, in the South Island. This is the 2009 version.

The images I've chosen show the tremendous variety of day trips I've experienced, since becoming a full-time lady gardener. I'm allowed one day off from my garden duties per week, and I'm not allowed to moan about sore feet or tired legs!
