About us

From Wholesale Roots to Your Garden Gate: The Garden Direct Story

At Garden Direct, we're passionate about helping you cultivate your dream garden. We're not just another online retailer; we're an offshoot of a well-established horticultural business with decades of experience supplying the trade. This heritage gives us a deep understanding of seeds and garden accessories, allowing us to curate a dynamic collection that adapts to the ever-changing needs of modern gardeners.

Quality Products, Affordable Prices

We believe everyone deserves the joy of gardening, regardless of budget. That's why we strive to deliver exceptional value by:

  • Sourcing directly from reputable suppliers: This cuts out unnecessary middlemen, keeping costs down for you.
  • Minimising packaging: Our seeds come packaged in simple, yet functional packaging to keep costs low and pass the savings on to you. Your seeds will arrive in either a clear film sachet or a brown recyclable sachet, with single sachets coming in at an average size of 6x7 cm. While our packaging is straightforward and no-frills, rest assured that the seeds inside are carefully selected to meet your gardening needs. Enjoy great value and a bountiful garden without the premium price tag.
  • Operating efficiently: Our lean team means we can pick, pack, and ship your orders quickly and affordably, directly from our Lancashire warehouse.

Beyond the Seeds: Growing Your Gardening Knowledge

Our commitment goes beyond just products. We want to empower you to succeed! We're constantly expanding our knowledge base with informative blog posts and insightful guides on our website. These resources cover everything from planting tips and seed selection to maximising your harvest and overcoming common gardening challenges.
