If you’re looking for a BIG LIST of free garden seed catalogs to order from, this is for you! As I sit here with my cup of tea and write to you, it’s a chilly 12 degrees outside and snow is covering the ground here in Maine.
So in my book, it’s the perfect time to start dreaming about this year’s gardening season and all the tasty plants and beautiful flowers I’d like to grow.
This big list of free garden seed catalogs {both the paper versions and their online versions} is the perfect way to spend winter mornings if you ask me. I have personally ordered from several of these in the past and am looking forward to this year’s gardening season.

MIGardener has a FANTASTIC youtube channel, as well as runs a beautiful seed shop at migardener.com. I’ve purchased from here 4 years now and the seeds don’t disappoint! The germination rate is fantastic and the plants are always healthy and strong. They don’t have a printed seed catalogue, but their website is easy to navigate and they also have an app. Honestly, I always shop here first, then head off to some others.
Oh! Also, for some unique seeds, I also order from and have had great success with this website:

Thanks for your list!

Fruition Seeds here in New York is a great place to buy seeds proven to grow in the northeast. I like to order from them, they have good quality seeds. http://www.Fruitionseeds.com.
Teresa Young says
I agree about Fruition Seeds! All organic. Also a great source for garlic and fruit trees.
Katherine says
True Leaf Market
I purchased two varieties of Korean zucchini that were prolific and tasty. Best of all the squash bugs didn’t attack these plants like they did my summer squash and zucchini.

San Diego Seed Company has great seeds and resources!
Linda Harper says
http://www.hosstools.com is one of the best, especially for Southern gardeners. They also do a weekly YouTube gardening show called row by row the gardening show. We love them.
Tiffany F says
I’ve ordered from several of these but also love SeedsforGenerations.com. They are a small family-owned company selling heirloom seeds in Southwest VA. They are not far from me, so I know that what they have will work well in my area also.
Kath says
Pinetree Garden Seeds, New Gloucester, Maine. I’ve ordered from them for years now. They offer smaller packet sizes at reasonable prices for small gardeners. They are online at superseeds.com. See the pictures at https://www.superseeds.com/pages/about-us. So pretty!

I have been growing most of my own plants for a few years now, and I’ll tell ya…I’m over it. I don’t have a greenhouse so I’ve muddled along with sunlight from a big picture window. Sometimes the plants make it; sometimes they don’t. The ones that do end up leggy and have a hard time thriving once planted in the ground. I know what they need (better light, more warmth) but this is the best I can do in my situation.
After purchasing plants last year (and seeing how CHEAP they really were, especially after I already felt like I was spending a small fortune on seeds and seed pods) and how much better they grew for me than my own, I’m on Team Get My Plants at the Store now.
