Plant catalog and seed companies - making life easy for the gardener

Many experienced gardeners use an online plant catalog to purchase developed plants, seeds and other gardening supplies. Seed companies spend countless marketing dollars trying to win your business – if only to realize that the real advantage is not always in the product but in the convenience of not having to head outdoors to get what you want for your garden. For you, as a gardening consumer, using a plant catalog and buying mail order plants from seed companies has a number of benefits. Let’s take a moment to examine those in more detail:

• Many mail order companies concentrate on particular garden plants that are not available locally
• Few garden centers are big enough to stock a fraction of what's available, so the web or mail order catalogues help you to purchase from a very extensive range
• Many garden suppliers and growers have excellent websites to help you buy vegetable seeds and other garden supplies, often at discounted rates
• The plants, seeds and other supplies are delivered direct to your door, so there is no need to worry about how to transport the plants from a garden center
• Some online plant sellers specialize in rare plants or new introductions to a species.
