Inspired by the tranquility of a ‘Secret Garden’

The enchanting illustrations draw you in with delicate wildflowers, blackberries, rabbits and rosehips. Inspired by the timeless beauty of English country gardens, this piece brings a touch of magic to any space.

Charlotte is a graphic design student and illustrator, and specialises in creating illustrations that can be cherished. 

You can read all about Charlotte at the back of the planner.

Includes 5 tabbed sections:

• Calendar
• Diary
• Meeting Notes (and Briefing Notes)
• Important Information (specific to your role)
• Notes and Contacts (includes plenty squared and lined paper for those who need it)

New for this year:

Back by popular demand is our month-to-view calendar page with plenty of space to write your key events for the year, and to help you plan your important deadlines. 

We’ve also enhanced the week-to-view diary page by adding wellbeing goals, reasons to celebrate and meeting reminders. The page is laid out better too, with the days going across the two pages rather than on just one page as before.

The meeting notes section now includes briefing notes for those short meetings that don’t need a lot of space, but often contain important information that you need to remember.
