Summer is here and it’s time to break out the flower beds and plant your seeds and bulbs. The time to do this is now: the general idea is to throw these little seeds and bulbs in the ground as soon as your region has had its last frost. If you’re wondering where on the web to get your garden supplies, including vegetable and flower seeds, bulbs, cuttings and planting material, there are some excellent online plant markets and garden subscription services that make preparing your garden a snap (dragon).
Buy the desired seeds or surprise yourself with a subscription
For green thumbs, buying quality seeds, seedlings, bulbs and chutes online from a garden market or delivery service will maximize your yield. Many of them function as huge online garden markets. And if you’d rather leave it to your own devices or get some inspiration from a curated subscription, you can simply enter your growth goals and sign up for monthly deliveries of plants, seeds, bulbs and even stylish garden accessories.
Buying seeds online means a huge selection
Every garden is different, but buying your seeds and bulbs from one of the larger online garden markets means a huge selection of both rare and common flowers and vegetables. Most of these garden subscription services will understand what you want to grow so you can arrange the garden of your dreams. Whether it’s beautiful flowers and indoor plants or outdoor plants, vegetables and produce you plan to grow, these services will tailor your seed and bulb delivery to your daily schedule.
No outdoor space? Try a smart indoor garden
For those without a real green space to work with, there are plenty of urban gardens and mini-farms designed to function without any land or even access to sunlight. These exquisite indoor growing systems such as AeroGarden and LettuceGrow use self-contained seed pods and chutes to avoid messy soil situations. Most also come with their own synthetic lighting for germinating plants, produce, herbs and fresh flowers in the most amazing growing environment. Check out our list of the best indoor gardens in 2022.
No matter your setup or growing situation, there’s a home garden service to help perfect your green thumb or make the perfect gift for an aspiring gardener. Check out these great online garden delivery, seed box and subscription services available in 2022.

Do and grow
This garden delivery service offers three different types of boxes depending on your home garden plans: DIY Edible Flower Garden, for example, includes seeds for growing beautiful floral arrangements like violas, marigolds and borages. It’s perfect for the home mixologist who wants to add some summer herbs to their work. There’s also a DIY garden kit for growing and drying things like chamomile and mint, or a DIY garden kit for kids.
American meadows
This massive online seed store offers just about any plant or flower you can dream of, as well as many you’ve probably never heard of. Species are divided into dozens of useful categories, including those suitable for shady areas, drought-tolerant and even deer-resistant. You can also buy wildflower seed mixes to create a floral kaleidoscope that would make Monet jealous.
Urban Organic Gardener
This new Club of the Month has monthly plans starting at $7 for your first shipment and $15 per shipment after that. You’ll get heirloom seeds delivered to your doorstep to grow herbs, vegetables, legumes and more. The subscription starts with a short questionnaire about what kind of garden you have—indoor, outdoor, hydroponic, low light, and more—and what kind of gardening you’d like to do. You can cancel or pause at any time (for example, during the off-season).
The Home Depot
Home Depot has a huge selection of plants to choose from and a decent selection of seeds, although they don’t specialize in rare vegetables. Home Depot also has a lot of garden supplies, including soil, garden tools, accessories, so you can get a lot out of one delivery to get your summer garden started.
Etsy
Etsy has just about everything one could need to craft, collect, create, and garden. The extensive online marketplace offers an endless variety of seeds, bulbs, plants, garden equipment and accessories. Looking for that elusive teddy bear sunflower? Of course you are and Etsy has it. How about a mix of tomato seeds inherited from zebra? Yes, you will find that too.
Leafy box
If you’re trying to get your garden in shape, a Leaf’d Box might be the easiest way to do it. My box of small vegetable plants arrived on time and healthy, ready for soil.
The Garden Office will take orders for anything you want to grow — vegetables, herbs, lettuce and other produce. Then the gardeners grow them for you to the right size for planting and send a box four times a year with plants that thrive in that season and in your climate. All plant subscription kits are available through the website and prices are as follows:
- Herb garden (10 plants): $45 per season
- Small vegetable (10 plants): $45 per season
- Medium Vegetarian (30 plants): $90 per season
- Veggie XL (60 plants): $180 per season
My garden box
My Garden Box is perfect for the houseplant obsessed. Each shipment includes a new houseplant and pot with soil, drainage stones and care instructions. This delivery service is great if you have a lot of room for houseplants and want to continue expanding your greenery indoors, or if you want to send a one-time gift to a plant lover. Plans start at around $45 per month.
The Bloomin’ Bin is a seed subscription box that is perfect for those who want to grow both produce and flowers. You can customize your order, starting at $7 per month, to include wildflower-only seeds, vegetable-only seeds, or a combination of both. Some plans like the Basic Bin include both seeds and live plants, while others like the Just Seeds plan only include seeds. The Premium Bin plan will include seeds, soil/plant food sample, pot, grow bag and one project or garden tool.
Natural hills
If you have serious gardening or landscaping plans, the Nature Hills plant collection is a good place to start for flowering plants, potted plant options, and more. There’s everything from houseplant options and perennial flowers to literal trees, shrubs and vines. Here you can find fruit trees and plants, including apple, citrus and stone fruit trees, as well as a wide range of berry bushes.
