Essential Garden & Farm Catalogs
From Kevin Kelly’s Cool Tools*:
“Gardening catalogs are the very epitome of dreambooks. Some are quite beautiful, all ripe with the promise of fulfillment in a slightly other universe, but here are the three that make late winter in the heartland a little less bitter…”
- Seedsavers Exchange
- Johnny’s Selected Seeds
- Gardens Alive
After the jump, check out three more grow-enabling catalogs, including an “organic” supplier that’s been doing green long before Wal-Mart.

*Disclosure: I’m currently the editor of Cool Tools.
Peaceful Valley = “the premier source for organic farming supplies…Here is your source for plastic deer fencing, the world’s best walk-behind Italian tillers, superlative hand tools, the best selection of drip irrigation supplies, and — my favorite — reusable foam seedling trays.”
Hortideas = “It’s sort of like a Cook’s Illustrated for your garden — the advice is based on scientific testing, and the tools born out of genuine need.”
Lehman’s Non-Electric Catalog = “Old-time farming and gardening tools (for old-time skills still viable)-on and on.”
