I love getting spring catalogs. I have already received: White Flower Farm, Jung, Select Seeds, Burpee, The Cook’s Garden, and Farmer Seed and Nursery.
I usually use these to look for new ideas on plants or other even garden ideas in general.

Anyway, could you all share what catalogs you get so that I can increase the number I get? Likewise you may also be able to get new and exciting ones. Please tell.

PS I do not indorse any of the catalogs I get, just that they have pretty pictures…(HA).

I thought I commented on this last night….

Anyhow, I love the Seeds of Change Catalog. www.seedsofchange.com
Just got mine today – and I’m overcome with indecision… too many options, what to do, what to to?

Stark Bros. is great for fruits, berries, nuts, etc.
Michigan Bulb is one we’ve gotten lots of perennials from…these guys are great.
Van Dyck's a nice catalog with some eye-popping bulbs and some advanced-topic plants. A little pricey…

I almost forgot about a great herbal shop. They are called Crimson Sage, and specialize in all manner of culinary, medicinal and other rare herbs. I’ve ordered several unique species, and all have done quite well!

I know I’m missing some others, and I’ll post them when I remember/rediscover them.

Spring Hill Nursery is one of my FAVORITIES. Have ordered from there and have been very pleased. White Flower Farm (as mentioned above) is great too. Heronswood has more exotic plants High Country Gardens is fantastic for flower gardeners in the South/Southwest. Have a great variety of xeric and very xeric plants. (My gardening children live in Arizona; so I keep my eyes open for them too.)

I get seeds regularlly from OSC. I have stokes catalouges aswell as burpee… all in all, most bang for your buck from osc seeds and its also shorter season material. I like some stuff available from burpee but I have to ship it to a relatives hous in michigan because they don’t ship internationally, which is silly for seeds.

Wayside Gardens looks pretty good. Plants are grouped nicely and the descriptions are pretty informative. Good one to just look through …

I’m looking at ”Ciudad Victoria” currant tomatoes
currant-size and larger. Flat on the top. Beautiful shiny red. Very intense flavour. Zesty, rich and sweet. Plants are 4-5 feet tall and produce hundreds of fruit on a plant; starting very early and continuing all season.

I ordered a lot of seeds and plants from Dominion Seed House this year.I find they have such different and beautiful flowers that you don’t see at the nurseries or in a lot of the other seed catalouges I looked in.

Thompson and Morgan ,Gardens North (only on line ) are both interesting and give good follow up advice and support. I got a package of seed that was nearly empty and I contacted T&M and they sent me a replacment.
