The first rendition of our Seed Catalog Database is now available as a PDF document. It’s high time to start on your gardening projects for the 2008 growing season, and we wanted to share the information we gathered so far – so here it is – 2008 Seed and Garden Catalog Guide. (Right-click the link to save the file if you like – it’s a PDF.)
In the catalog guide you’ll find contact information for 92 companies that offer seeds and plants for your gardens, including their addresses, phone numbers and clickable links to their online offerings.
The original database was trimmed down to include only companies located in the U.S.A. Unfortunately, federal regulations have stopped shipments of live plants coming in from Canada and other parts of the world. Some foreign companies have voluntarily quit shipping anything to the U.S. due to the newer, more stringent rules. That’s ok, we’d like to show our support for businesses that can claim Made in the U.S.A., so from now on we’ll only be mentioning American businesses.
Make sure to check out the websites as many of these companies have Web Only Specials that you might like to take advantage of!
Beyond the contact info, the catalog guide describes products from each company so you can find out who is offering bulbs and who is selling lettuce seeds.
Our goal is to ultimately provide an online service that is searchable so you can find where to purchase tarragon seeds or mesclun mixes for your early Spring garden.
