Find The Seeds You Need!

At Mother Earth News, we know the joys and frustrations of thumbing through seed catalogs. It’s fun to browse, and sometimes you find everything you need. But sometimes there are varieties you want to try and just can’t track down. Plus, there are over 500 mail-order companies that offer vegetables, fruit, herbs, nuts, grains and more. That means there are great “new” companies out there offering varieties that you haven’t heard about yet! With that in mind, we’ve created these new online tools that will make garden shopping much easier.

The Seed and Plant Finder: Search for Your Favorite Varieties

Are you looking for a particular vegetable, herb or flower variety and can’t spot it in your favorite catalogs? Our new Mother Earth News Seed and Plant Finder lets you quickly search the online catalogs of more than 500 mail-order seed and plant companies.

The Finder uses the Google search engine, but limits the search only to the seed companies we’ve listed, so you get cleaner search results without as much “clutter.”

All you have to do is type the variety you’re looking for in the search box, and you’ll get a list of links to the companies offering that variety. (For variety names with two or more words, put the entire name inside quotation marks for the best results.) You can also search for any crop and browse the newest or rarest selections.

We have another search set up specifically for finding organic pest controls and gardening supplies. Check out the Organic Pest Control and Garden Products Finder now.

The Mother Earth News National Seed Company Directory: Explore New Seed Sources for Local, Organic and Heirloom Seeds

To help you get acquainted with more companies, we’ve invited the 500 that are included in our Seed and Plant Finder to register in our new National Directory of companies offering mail-order seeds and plants.

This new directory will help you learn more about your favorite seed companies, and discover new ones to check out. You can find seed companies located in your area that are most likely to have seeds adapted to your region.

You also can track down companies specializing in nuts, berries, herbs, grains or cover crops, or those that offer a high number of organic seeds or heirloom varieties. You can find it here.
