Short-cuts to what you need most in a gardening catalogue.

American gardeners click here

As an experienced gardener and nature-loving home owner I point to the gardening resources, plants and equipment that make gardening easier and your garden more enjoyable.

I've discovered where to get these online and, to save you time, I've posted a few direct links right here.

Further down, below the shortcut lists and my on-page store, I've listed the useful gardening catalogues that I recommend throughout this website.

1 - WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR - DIRECT TO WHAT YOU NEED?

• SEED STARTING

• Propagators at Ferndale Lodge  are found in a range of sizes and shapes to suite. They include self-watering, heated systems and aerogrow.
• Jiffy pots, plastic pots and trays for raising seeds and cuttings, transplanting, and growing on are here along with the paper pot maker.
  Rootrainers are deep, ridged modules that air-prune roots. They open like a book for you to observe and release the well-rooted plug.

• CHOICE OF SEEDS

• Thompson & Morgan and Suttons Seeds are both long-established, first-class and very popular seeds and plants suppliers.
• Compare with Dobies where I've made consistant savings on my orders.

• COMPOST FOR SEED STARTING, TRANSPLANTING & CONTAINERS

• Seed and Potting Composts available in a wide range of types and sizes. I particularly recommended composts with added John Innes for containers.
• Specialised plant composts for:- ericas, cacti, geraniums and fuschias, bulbs and aquatic composts are here too.

• ORGANIC FERTILIZERS

• Specialised Organic Fertilizers are here. - I used the organic potato fertilizer in my containers and in the garden.

• GARDENING TOOLS

• Gardening tools designed for children & for ladies
plus
• general gardening tools are available at this comprehensive online garden centre.

Below you'll find classified reviews of the gardening catalogues I use and recommend throughout this website. I introduce them all after my Select Garden Store just below.
Also below, please take a few seconds to request my gardening newsletter which includes seasonal tips on organic gardening, information on growing aids, and home and garden style.

2 - WHY GO TO AMAZON FOR GARDENING? good question...
Amazon is definitely worth checking out.
Their gardening catalogue and third party suppliers cover a huge range. They've stocked just about every brand from every manufacturer at some time or other - from ride-on lawn mowing tractors to plant pots (although out of season their seed and plant stock is extremely limited).

I’m delighted to see that Amazon’s gardening catalogue includes my recommended but hard to find Wolf Garden Interchangeable Tools.

So although Amazon are not gardening specialists, my advice is, check them out for tools and renewable garden supplies.

You'll find them competitively priced, and in my experience well-packaged and reliable with an order system that tracks deliveries.

Moreover, small gardening orders can be supplemented by the non-gardening items that you need, which may then qualify for free delivery. Look out for Amazon Multi-buy offer prices too.

GARDENING CATALOGUES IN U.K. AND EUROPE

THOMPSON & MORGAN
- experts in gardening since 1855.
You can take advantage of several offers that will leave you with a satisfied smile. I got 4 packets of seeds for only £2.55 including postage. But that doesn't do justice to the quality of the plants on offer here.

I couldn't get through on the telephone they were so busy. But their website (unlike their lovely showcase gardening catalogues) lists all their complete range of seeds, plants, bulbs and fruit along with pictures and information. Click here for Thompson & Morgan



DOBIES of DEVON
- the choice of gardening enthusiasts.
Dobies seed range is again consistently lower priced than several competitors. This has made me considerable savings on high quality seeds.

• Potato Tubs, Potato Barrels, Seed potatoes, Potato Harvest Bags...
• You can get Vegetable Plants ready to plant out here. When soil, season or time prevent you growing seed this range is good. Order early
• Grow your own herbs - essential when you're looking for a distinctive fresh flavour.

Dobies have vast experience in selecting what today's gardeners need. They know what succeeds. Gardening enthusiasts will find prize winning flowers and vegetables included in Dobies listings.



CROCUS
- where top designers get their plants.
For those who use their garden to relax amid neatly planted borders, patios and ornamental shrubs. Here you'll find a stylish presentation of plants that will fit straight into your garden design. Lot's of tips on growing and plant care too. Click here to view plants at Crocus



HARROD HORTICULTURE

ROLAWN
- for highest quality turf, grass seed, topsoil, loam, plus aggegate, mulch & bark.
Europe’s largest producer of cultivated turf and Britain’s recognised leading supplier of high quality topsoil. Awarded 16 medals including 9 Gold awards at 2008 R.H.S. Chelsea Flower Show.

Putting a lawn on display is a defining moment for a gardener. So it's important to get the highest quality grass that will raise your reputation. To get the best in turf go with top golf clubs, parks and professional landscapers and visit Rolawn.

That Rolawn lead the field is not surprising: cultivating 3500 acres, the finest Vale of York loams and developing horticultural technologies in-house - recently a pneumatic seed drill for sowing 9 metre strips.

High quality products from Rolawn include: Rolawn medallion® and Minster Pro® Turf plus superior landscaping materials including: top dressing, topsoil, loam, aggregate, mulch and bark.

Why ordering from online gardening catalogues beats garden shops and telesales.
