We updated this article in February 2023 to add more frequently asked questions about gardening subscription boxes. We also removed boxes that no longer exist and replaced them with new, noteworthy options selected by the Good Housekeeping Institute.
Today, there’s a subscription box for just about everything whether your interests lie in testing
new beauty products, sampling artisanal food or improving your wardrobe. There’s even something for all of the gardeners out there. Simply sign up for a gardening subscription box to have a seasonal assortment of plants, succulents and seeds sent right to your door. Most of the subscription boxes ship on a monthly basis, but a select few follow a quarterly model, shipping at the start of every season.
To help you find the cream of the crop, we’ve rounded up the best gardening subscription boxes, keeping in mind different budgets, skill levels and garden types. You’ll find subscription boxes suited to outdoor vegetable gardens, flower and herb gardens, as well as houseplant-only options for apartment dwellers without a suitable patio space or lawn — all of which make a great gift for the gardener in your life. Plus, the vast majority of the subscription boxes on this list come with care instructions and helpful tips to guide you on the exciting new gardening journey ahead.
