Here is a wonderful list of free garden seed catalogs—and places to buy seeds and plants online. These plant nurseries offer the best-quality plants, a lot of selection and interesting varieties, and great value. Start dreaming and ordering early to make your choice!
The catalogs are listed below in alphabetical order. Most of the seed and plant catalogs are complimentary; a handful might not be free, but they are still worth considering. None of the catalogs in this list are produced or sold by The Old Farmer’s Almanac. This is simply a list that both Almanac editors and readers have suggested.
Over 45 Seed Catalogs & Online Plant Sources
Our editors’ favorite seed companies are those that offer heirloom and hybrid open-pollinated and non-GMO seeds. We’ve put a star * next to some faves.
