Burpee
Many of us remember paging through the Burpee seed catalog with mom or grandma. And today, thanks to the iconic brand’s online shop, you can recreate those fond memories while stocking up for the season. Shop for seeds (and in some cases, plants) of all your favorite vegetables, flowers, perennials, herbs and fruits—you can even add organic options and gardening supplies to your cart! Speaking of supplies, these are the tools every vegetable gardener needs.
True Leaf Market
If you’re looking for quality seeds, True Leaf Market has ’em. And in addition to traditional offerings for flowers, herbs and fresh produce, the online store has options for growing your own microgreens, sprouts and wheatgrass. Oh, and while you’re browsing, take a second to get to know Taylor, the warehouse cat. Trust us, the puns alone are worth your while.
Bloomscape
If you want to treat yourself or a loved one to a quality houseplant, Bloomscape has you covered. This modern company ships plants straight from the greenhouse to your front door. While their offerings are constantly changing, we currently love the Hedgehog Aloe, Kimberly Queen Fern and Prickly Pear Cactus. As an added bonus, Bloomscape sets you up with everything you need for growing success—including soil, a pot and expert care instructions—while offering plants to fit any price range.
Jung Seed
Another trusted brand, Jung sells almost every seed and plant variety imaginable. Plus, you can pick up bulbs, roses and even trees or shrubs. Make sure you check the site’s shipping policy before getting your heart set on a certain item, though. Some states have restrictions. Psst! These secret ingredients can help your garden grow.
Gurney’s
Advertising as “America’s most complete seed and nursery company,” Gurney’s sells, well, just about everything you need for a beautiful yard. Scroll through pages of vegetables, fruits, flowers, trees or shrubs and more. If you’re wondering what all of your neighbors are buying, check out the “Best Sellers” page, too.
Dutch Gardens
If you’re looking to grow the most beautiful garden on the block, check out Dutch Gardens. Promising “top quality for over 100 years,” this site is a top spot for perennials, bulbs, trees and shrubs, roses, vines and more.

Urban Leaf
Even if you don’t have a big backyard you can still grow homemade produce and herbs—or at least that’s the philosophy behind Urban Leaf. They sell mini fruit and vegetable kits, herb seeds, bottle gardens and more that can be grown in the comfort of your apartment.
Botanical Interests
It’s not just the seeds that matter. Packaging is important, too! That’s why Botanical Interests set off to create a more beautiful and informative seed packet. And since 1995 they’ve been selling all sorts of vegetables, flowers and herbs.
Direct Gardening
If you’re looking for a good deal, try Direct Gardening. This no-frills site has everything you need—and then some. We love that you can filter items by “Garden Solutions,” such as butterfly attracting, deer-resistant, drought-tolerant and more.
Select Seeds
Specializing in heirloom varieties, Select Seeds has some of the most unique offerings on the Internet. In addition to plenty of annuals, perennials, fragrant plants, native species, vines and herbs, the site also has an heirloom section that’s full of rare and vintage finds. We’re growing these trendy vegetables this year.
Harry & David
You might think of Harry & David for their gourmet gift baskets and Moose Munch, but they’re a great source for plants, too. You can find all sorts of beautiful options, including ever-blooming Gardenias, herb gardens and succulent centerpieces. This site is our first stop when we want to send a plant as a gift.
