Gurney's

Gurney's Seed & Nursery is one of America's oldest mail-order seed and plant companies, founded in 1866 in South Dakota and specializing in vegetable seeds, flower seeds, fruit trees, berry plants, perennials, and gardening supplies. Gurney's serves home gardeners across the country with a comprehensive catalog of proven varieties selected for home garden performance across diverse growing regions.

The company's seed catalog covers hundreds of vegetable varieties (tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, beans, squash), flower seeds, bulbs, and live plants including fruit trees, berries, and perennial plants shipped at appropriate planting times by growing zone. Gurney's exclusive and proprietary varieties—developed through their own breeding programs—are unavailable elsewhere and represent a reason to shop their catalog directly.

Gurney's runs their strongest promotional events in fall (for spring-planted bulbs) and winter (for planning the upcoming garden season), with sale pricing of 20–40% on seeds and plants. Their satisfaction guarantee covers all plants and seeds, providing a meaningful backstop for customers whose plants fail to thrive. Early ordering in winter often secures the best selection before popular varieties sell out.
