It seems like you just put down your rake and are sitting down for the short breather between harvest and seed-starting season. But there are some deals currently going on for gardeners that you shouldn't sleep on—because let's face it, this hobby (lifestyle?) can get pricey. Here are some of my top picks.

Botanical Interests

One of my favorite sites for seeds is offering everything online at 20% off, starting today, with code BOTANICALBONUS20 (automatically applied at checkout). In particular, Botanical Interests has spectacular flower collections, and is known for a well-curated collection of vegetable and herb varieties. This sale includes all their tools, too, which means this is a great time to pick up all the hand tools you lost this year, and maybe even finally admit you need a tool bag (so you don't lose them again next summer).

Freyr Trellis

If you are a gardener on the internet, you have no doubt burned with envy over the garden influencers sporting the new Freyr trellis from Seattle Urban Farm Co. Freyrs are currently $60 off, which is nothing to sneeze at, and the discounts go up from there based on how many trellises you buy. 

Winstrips

There is absolutely no garden product I recommend as much as the Winstrips from Neversink Tools. Heavy, indestructible molded plastic seed-starting trays, Winstrips feature aeration ports for every single cell, resulting in starts as strong as seed-blocked starts, without any of the work of seed blocking. These have revolutionized the efficiency with which I can start new seeds, and this kit of Mini Winis (6 packs), bottom trays, domes and dibblers is a great starting point. It’s $35 off. I’m told their full Winstrip packages will also go on sale for Black Friday, so check back this week. 

Burpee

One of the biggest seed houses, full of reliable varieties at always reasonable prices, is putting the entire site on sale for 20% off, Nov. 22-23 (excluding greenhouses and gift cards). Then on Friday, Nov. 24, if you use BLACKFRIDAY23, you can add free shipping to the 20% off (but not on super heavyweight stuff, so you’re gonna have to still pay shipping on the backhoe). This 20% off sale will continue through Cyber Monday; check the site for the daily promo code. Not only would I use this opportunity to stock up on all the new seeds, I’d definitely use that 20% off to splurge on bigger ticket items like the LED Grow Lighte.  I am absolutely finally buying the hod I’ve had my eyes on for three years—Burpee has a big one that looks super sturdy. I’m done carrying tomatoes in my apron. 

Park Seed

Nov 27-29, all seed starting supplies at Park Seed will be 20% off with code SEEDSALE; on Monday, you’ll be able to layer free shipping for all seed starting and seeds onto that. Park Seed is great for wide bench varieties of flower seeds you generally don’t see elsewhere. I’d be blowing my nickels on their petunia seeds—no one else has their variety—or their zinnias. If you find yourself spending a lot each spring on annuals, you should absolutely check Park Seed’s seeds, where you’ll recognize all your favorites, and can nab a seed pack to grow your own. I love how thoughtful Park’s packaging is, to preserve the longevity of your seeds. 

Jackson & Perkins

J&P is where I go for roses, and I find their options highly competitive with David Austen. I’m a sucker for a Florabunda, and their Double Ambre deserves to go home with someone. Now through Wednesday the 22nd, they offer escalating discounts based on spend, starting with $10 off $50, all the way up to $50 off $150, with code BEJOLLY. On Black Friday, they’ll have 50% off some of their trees, and then 20% off all other gifts on the site. 

Gardyn and Lettuce Grow

Both stand-up hydroponic farms are offering 20% off, so you can choose the one you prefer. The Gardyn 3.0 is 20% off with the code SAVEBIG and LettuceGrow uses code GREENFRIDAY, on sale through Friday. 

Aerogarden

Aerogarden offers escalating early discounts, starting at 20% off if you spend at least $100, going all the way up to 40% off if you spend over $200. If you’ve ever had your eye on an Aero (and I have to admit, I definitely have for winter gardening inside), this is the time to buy.

The Fermentation School

I know a thing or two about fermenting. But the folks I learn from all have classes at The Fermentation School, and they are offering 35% off classes using code FERMENTWITHUS.  If you want to learn to really make vinegar, grab the Vinegar Making Bundle. It’ll change your kitchen.
