Seed catalogues

Seed catalogues
Autumn is a good time to get hold of some seed catalogues to browse through. You can plan your garden for next year and get inspiration from the pictures and details about the plants.

Growing seeds is an excellent way of getting plants cheaply and if all your seeds grow then you can give them away, swap them with friends or even sell them at charity events or car boot sales!

Looking through catalogues is a good way of getting cultural details and finding out what is available and which flowers will do best in your type of soil and climate

Here is my list of the best seed catalogues to be had – most of which can be looked at online or the catalogues can be sent to you by post. They are usually very happy to help with any technical questions if you email them.
