When I do garden consultations, I’m always asked to recommend suppliers of the plants, seeds, soil, and tools needed for the project. I won’t list a lot of unnecessary stuff here, because I don’t want to push consumerism – there’s enough of that infiltrating the gardening scene. However, the products linked here are tried and true (by yours truly) and are sold by mostly small businesses that are trying to have a positive impact on the world.
Some of these product links are affiliate links, meaning I get a small commission if you make a purchase. Others are just small business I want to shine some light on.
