These were the bulb catalogs featuring beautiful summer bulbs, rose and other specialty flower catalogs, and a few more gardening supply catalogs. (I&#8217;m not endorsing any of these catalogs, by the way, nor did anyone pay me anything to show them &#8211; this is simply what arrived in my mailbox since Christmas.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s a far cry from the 1800s when the Shakers, a religious group in New England, began offering their seeds via mail order. The quality and innovative packaging of the seeds enabled gardeners to purchase seeds that otherwise wouldn&#8217;t be available in their local community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In my own home town of Floral Park, Long Island, our town was literally built on the former seed and plant growing empire of John Lewis Childs, a businessman, and plantsman who started a profitable mail-order seed company in the late 1800s on the fertile soil of the Hempstead Plain. And while today Floral Park is better known as a great little community to grow a family, the soil underneath all those suburban houses remains rich and loamy, great for growing a garden.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-image-3626\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"541\" height=\"416\" src=\"https:\/\/homegardenjoy.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/PEAS.jpg\" alt=\"growing peas\" class=\"wp-image-3626\" srcset=\"https:\/\/homegardenjoy.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/PEAS.jpg 541w, https:\/\/homegardenjoy.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/PEAS-150x115.jpg 150w, https:\/\/homegardenjoy.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/PEAS-300x231.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 541px) 100vw, 541px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">You can see a pea seed between the two plants.

Search for Companies and Complete Forms<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>First, you can search on the internet for famous seed companies. Most have a form on their website to request a catalog. Fill it out and wait; it will arrive soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-gardening-magazines\">2. Gardening Magazines<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you subscribe to gardening magazines, chances are very good that the magazines have rented your name out to various companies for marketing purposes. This is a standard operating procedure and really, in the case of gardeners, most of us don&#8217;t object to receiving catalogs and other marketing materials filled with plants and garden supplies. Okay, you may object because it is so tempting, but it is fun to see what&#8217;s out there!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-previous-purchases\">3. Previous Purchases<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, if you buy from one <a href=\"https:\/\/homegardenjoy.com\/site\/2018\/01\/seed-starting-resources.html\">seed company<\/a>, chances are good that the others will start sending your catalogs, too. Why? Same reason as with the gardening magazines; companies sell or rent your contact information to similar companies. It doesn&#8217;t make intuitive sense at first glance, but as a direct marketer by profession, I can tell you it is true. I always wonder whether or not the profit they make from selling the list outweighs sharing their customer list with competitors, but I suppose it must because it is so commonplace in the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/homegardenjoy.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Seedpackages2.jpg\" alt=\"picture of garden seeds purchased from free seed catalogs\" class=\"wp-image-1138\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-one-last-tip-host-a-catalog-swap\">One Last Tip: Host a Catalog Swap!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One last way that occurred to me after my Master Gardener class last week is to gather all your gardening friends together for tea and a catalog swap!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the middle of February or January when you&#8217;re craving gardening fun and it&#8217;s either too cold or snowy, why not throw a little gardening get together at your home? Everyone should bring either some seed catalogs or gardening magazines they want to &#8220;swap&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Provide tea and cookies or snacks and have a fun afternoon hanging out and flipping through the gardening periodicals, dreaming of the time to come when you can actually <a href=\"https:\/\/homegardenjoy.com\/site\/how-to-start-seeds\">plant those wonderful seeds<\/a> and plants. You may also want to organize some group orders too among your friends; if a package of 100 hollyhock seeds is way too many, maybe split four ways it&#8217;s better for your garden.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Did you know that you can get free seed catalogs?
