2026 Stella Natura Biodynamic Planting Calendar

$40.00

Stella Natura Biodynamic Planting Calendar for 2026.  Working with Cosmic Rhythms.

This beautiful calendar offers advice for when to sow seeds, cultivate your garden and/or farm crop to best enhance their roots, flowers, leaves or fruits. This is based on the Moon’s passage through the constellations of the zodiac. Unfavorable times for sowing are also indicated, to help avoid those inexplicable crop failures.

In addition to planting and astronomical information, the monthly charts continue to be hand-written and accompanied by the thoughtful, inspiring, and informative articles for which Stella Natura has become well-known and appreciated.  Also new this year ~ each calendar now includes a link to a free introductory webinar on its principles and practical application!

Initiated by Sherry Wildfeuer in 1978 and heartfully produced by her since that time, Stella Natura has long been a meaningful part of the biodynamic movement. With insightful and engaging articles about agriculture, cosmic influences, and anthroposophy, as well as meticulously hand-drawn charts that detail dates and times for planting/tending/harvesting various crops based on planetary and cosmic influences, it is a faithful companion to gardeners, farmers, and those seeking a glimpse into the practical application of anthroposophical insight to the natural world. 

Sherry and Spikenard’s Director, Alex Tuchman, have worked mindfully and joyously together on this transition and have collaborated closely on the last several calendars.

The Pulse of the Farm

January

Although the trees are dormant still & conserving their energy for the season ahead, we are still busy!

  • We inspect trees for signs of disease or damage
  • Start harvesting scionwood if the weather suits
  • Prune to shape branches and encourage healthy future growth
  • Clean up any fallen debris or old fruit to reduce pest problems
  • Inspect for tree damage/pest control
  • Equipment maintenance, soil testing, and planning for spring planting

Though it may seem still and bare, January sets the foundation for a productive season to come.

Harvesting & Storing Scionwood

Before we get too far through winter, here is a blog post to cover how scionwood is cut and stored! We also have info about this on various help resources on our website, so perhaps you've already found it there. Just in case, here it is in blog form.
Planning Your Most Important Spring Orchard Task

Planning Your Most Important Spring Orchard Task

It’s also one of the most common mistakes new fruit tree growers make!  Many of our customers question why we tell them to prune away approximately 1/3 of their young 1 or 2 year old tree as part of the planting process after their purchase, so we thought we’d begin our pruning blog series with an outline of why  you should care so much about pruning, and what you should begin planning for.
How to Spring Prune Your Fruit Trees

How to Spring Prune Your Fruit Trees

If you read our first pruning blog post in this series, you’ll already know how important spring pruning is for your fruit trees of any age, but in particular for your fruit trees’ first 3-5 years of life! Today we’re going to go into lots of detail about how to do dormant spring pruning, tree anatomy, and the terms you’ll hear orchardists saying, so buckle up!
