Gardening Catalog

During the winter months when the weather prevents you from working in your yard, a garden catalog can help you prepare for spring planting season. Catalogs also provide a great place to locate items difficult to find locally, such as specialty equipment or exotic imported plants. Additionally, gardening catalogs often sport the latest finds in garden technology, helping you keep abreast of faster, more streamlined tools and systems to reduce maintenance time.

Organized largely by blooming season, garden catalogs carry a wide variety of plants. From groundcovers and perennials to annuals and shrubs, most listings will carry brief care notations. In addition to any special care necessities noted, factors to consider when selecting plants for your garden are hardiness, zone, recommended spacing, sunlight availability, potential pest problems, and water requirements.

Bloom time is also highly important to note. Not all varieties that bloom in summer will bloom simultaneously–sometimes, by the time August flowers bloom, May flowers have passed their prime. For this reason, it’s recommended to time your bulbs so that you are able to maximize your continuous blooming time into a longer season.

Garden catalogs also offer plenty more gardening solutions, from fruit trees and vines to indoor plants and plant containers. These catalogs usually offer garden accents like statues, wind chimes, and decorative ceramic pots. Of course, staples like redwood planters and motorized or manual gardening tools are also available by mail-order or web-order.
