How the Minnesota year breaks down
Counted, not claimed
Something in the Minnesota list is in bloom from March through November, and June is the peak — 32 of the 65 species are flowering then.
19 of them are caterpillar host plants and 23 support specialist bees — the ones that do the most work in Minnesota yards.
Across the twelve Minnesota month pages the reference side draws on 7 wildflowers, 6 trees, 6 butterflies and 8 things coming into season locally.

The set, or the pieces
Both are honest ways to buy the Minnesota editions
| One at a time | Minnesota Nature Year 2027 + Journal | |
|---|---|---|
| What you get | Whichever single Minnesota edition you pick | Both, together |
| Checkouts | One for each — there is no cart here | One, for the whole Minnesota set |
| What it costs | $48.00 for the two apart | $42.00, saving $6.00 |
| The weekly note | Included with the Minnesota Nature Year | Included here too — it comes with the year |
| If you only want one | Buy it on its own; every Minnesota edition is sold separately | The set is only worth it if all of it is new to you |
Before you buy
Who this is for
Made for
- Someone who wants the whole Minnesota year and somewhere to record it
- Anyone buying the Minnesota Nature Year who would have come back for the journal anyway
- Households where more than one person in Minnesota goes outside
Not for
- Anyone who only wants to read Minnesota month by month — the free Minnesota pages already do that
- Anyone who does not print; most of what is here is made for paper
Everything here describes typical timing across Minnesota, drawn from long-run records — weather, elevation and how close you are to water all move the real dates around. So the Minnesota pages say "usually early May" and never "May 4th", which is not hedging but the most the data can honestly carry.
Questions
Before you decide
What exactly is in the Minnesota set?
Minnesota Nature Year 2027 and The Minnesota Nature Journal — every file each of them contains.
What if I already own one of these Minnesota editions?
Then buy the others on their own — the Minnesota set only saves money if all of it is new to you, and we would rather say so than take $42.00 for a file you already have.
Is this cheaper than buying the Minnesota editions one at a time?
Yes — $42.00 rather than $48.00, a saving of $6.00. There is no cart here, so buying them apart also means checking out 2 separate times.
Do the Minnesota files arrive together?
They arrive as one download list on one page — 12 files in all for Minnesota, each downloadable on its own, and the link re-opens for 72 hours.
How accurate is the timing for Minnesota?
It describes typical timing across Minnesota drawn from long-run records, and because weather, elevation and habitat move real Minnesota dates around it says "usually early May" rather than "May 4th".
Is it worth paying when the Minnesota pages here are free?
The free Minnesota pages are the month you are in; these are the Minnesota editions around them — planned before the year arrives, and printable, so you are not holding a screen in the garden.
Will it work for my part of Minnesota, or just the big cities?
It is written at state resolution — Minnesota as a whole, with regional notes where Minnesota genuinely differs end to end, and nothing behind it is recorded finely enough to honestly promise more than that.
What format is the Minnesota edition, and can I print it?
A PDF laid out for both Letter and A4, one page per sheet — printing it is the point, since the Minnesota pages are made to be carried outside.
What if the Minnesota set is not what I expected?
Email hello@birchcompass.com within 30 days for a full refund on the Minnesota edition, and keep the files either way — asking for them back would be theatre.
Everything in this set is also sold on its own — Minnesota Nature Year 2027 and The Minnesota Nature Journal — and the free Minnesota pages cover this month either way.
