Gardening Catalogs

Gardening Catalogs

Well, it’s that time of year. My mailbox is beginning to fill up with a multitude of gardening catalogs.

I am fortunate to live in SE Florida, where I can garden year round. However, I remember when I used to live up north, the arrival of the new years garden catalogs was always a welcome break from the dreary winters. The beautiful color photographs of herbs, flowers and vegetables were a sneak peak at how my garden would start to appear in the spring.

Here is a list of the catalogs I currently have piled up on my bedside table. These vendors sell a variety of herb plants, seeds and bulbs. They sell their merchandise either through their mail order catalog, on their website or at their nursery and garden centers.

  • Website: www.burpee.com

  • Park Seed Company
  • 1 Parkton Avenue
