The year’s best shopping days are approaching. For gardeners the only thing better than picking up new garden goodies and plants is picking them up for a steal. If you’re looking for Black Friday deals for gardeners, here are my top 5 picks!

First, from Epic Gardening, use this link for a coupon up to 40% off and a free gift on orders over $300. I really love this bundle of seeds, called “Kevin’s Weird & Unique Picks.” For just $28.95, you get a packet each of: Rat’s Tail Radish, Green Zebra Pole Tomato, Lakota Winter Squash, Alaska Variegated Nasturtium, Corsican Hard-Shelled Gourd, Maverick Palla Rossa Radicchio, Brightest Brilliant Rainbow Quinoa, Clancy Potato, Mouse Melon Cucamelon. 

Next, Home Depot marked down a lovely  7 gallon Nellie R. Stevens Holly Shrub with dark green foliage from $88.82 to $59.97 (save 32%).  Stick a pretty bow on it and you’ve got a generous party gift that keeps on giving. There is even offers free delivery. A gorgeous gift and low-maintenance plant.

Then, Dahing Plants is celebrating “Green Friday,” boasting free next-day delivery on orders over $199. I love the large, blackish-purple dinner plate leaves on the  Geogenanthus ciliatus ($43)  It provides a stunning, pet-friendly gift providing a break from the sea of green we normally see with houseplants. They are easy to care for, happy in low light, and will reward you with beautifully dark foliage in the right conditions.

Fourth, Amazon is inviting everyone to buy this best-selling set of self-watering planters now for just $19.99 (down about $5). A simple modern aesthetic and clean matte finish planters will perfectly match any home or office décor. Per Amazon, they can bear extreme temperature environment and can be suitable for both indoor and outdoor use . With better breathability and water absorption, they are beneficial to the healthy growth of plants. The set includes 6 green planters with drainage holes and saucers in 8, 7, 6.5, 6, 5.5,  and 5 inch sizes. Over 1100 4.4 star reviews.

And finally this gem: April Farm, Rare Succulents gift boxes from $34.99-$99.99. Send a “mystery box” of rare succulents: randomly selected succulent plants from their current inventory and labeled with names.  It is recommended to wash and remove all hair roots to encourage new growth. All roots are trimmed and washed, which will help the rooting process and eliminate insects. Small box is for 2-3 rare succulents, medium box is for 3-4 rare succulents, large box is for 4-5 rare succulents.
