8 garden box subscriptions and seed delivery services for 2022 – CNET [CNET]

Spring means two things to me: grills and gardens. There is no better time than now to get your garden or grow space planted for the best possible returns when that sunshine really hits. As much as we all love Lowe’s garden center, making fewer trips to crowded stores helps keep cases of you-know-what down. (We’re almost there, people.) Instead, dig into these online seed, plant and bulb delivery services and garden box subscriptions that send seeds, seedlings, flower bulbs, chutes and even full-grown plants along with care instructions, gardening accessories and safe growing aids to your door. 

For the green-thumbed, buying quality seeds, seedlings, bulbs and chutes online from these subscription services will help maximize your yield. Many of them function as sprawling online bulb, plant and seed marketplaces, but if you’re indecisive — like me — you can simply input your growing goals and sign up for a monthly subscription to receive shipments of flowering plants, seeds and gear sent to your home. 

Every garden is different, of course, so most of these plant delivery and garden subscription services take steps to find out both what you’d like to grow and where you plan to grow it. Whether it’s pretty flowers and houseplants or outdoor plants, vegetables and produce you want to grow, some of these services will tailor your plant delivery to help you curate the garden of your dreams.

Don’t have an outdoor growing space or garden at all? Don’t worry: There is a slew of urban gardens and mini-farm stands designed to function without any earth or even access to regular sun. These nifty indoor grow systems like AeroGarden and LettuceGrow use self-contained seed pods and chutes to avoid messy soil situations. Some even come with their own synthetic lighting to sprout plants, produce, herbs and fresh flowers in the most unlikely of growing environments. See our list of the best indoor gardens in 2022.

No matter your growing setup or situation, there is a home garden service that will help you hone your green thumb or make an ideal gift for an aspiring gardener. Check out these great online plant delivery services, garden box subscriptions available in 2022.
