Holiday Gift Idea for the Gardener: Seeds of the Month Club

I just can't resist packages of vegetable seeds. They represent so much promise. When I see a rack of seeds in stores, I usually end up with at least one package in my hands. I just can't help myself sometimes.


I recently signed up for a yearly subscription at Mike the Gardner's Seeds of the Month Club for $32.00. I received eight packets of seeds the first month after joining and four packets of seeds every month after.  That is 52 packages of seeds a year (less than 62¢ each package).

I learned about Seeds of the Month Club after discovering the very active Vegetable Gardening facebook page. I won a few packages of seeds through contests and was impressed by the quality of the seeds. After interacting with the members on the page for a while, I decided to subscribe to the Seeds of the Month Club back in June of this year.

All seeds are non-gmo, open pollinated heirloom varieties that have been tested for a germination rate of 95% and higher. The seeds mailed are customized to your location and climate. Mike purchases the seeds in bulk and packages them up into individual seed envelopes with growing information printed on the back.


What makes it fun is the seeds that arrive each month are a complete surprise. I have received seeds for things that I have never grown before like New Zealand Spinach and Brussels Sprouts, but I am excited to try growing these next year. I also received seeds for some basics that I would purchase often anyway such as herbs, lettuce, peas, etc. If there are seeds that I can’t use, I will give them away or use them in seed swaps.


Seeds of the Month Club has an affiliate program. This means that if you buy a membership through my link below, I make a little on the deal at no added cost to you. So if you are interested and would like to order, please visit Seeds of the Month Club or click on the linked image below:


When you visit the link, you will see that you have several subscription offers to choose from:

  • Lifetime: $229.99
There are no additional shipping charges to any of the above prices. Please know I would not have become an affiliate or post this if I had not given the club a try myself and thought it was a good offer. Mike the Gardner's Seeds of the Month Club would also make a great holiday gift.

I would be happy to answer any questions that you may have. Please feel free to leave a comment or email me at grafixmuse (at) yahoo (dot) com.

  3. This sounds VERY fun. I'm especially tempted to jump all-in to the lifetime option. That could equal 600 months for me.

  4. P.S. 15 minutes ago Mike posted a blog entry that says that he'll give 70% off all packages on Black Friday!!! That's an amazing price.

  8. It looks like the "Lifetime" option has been removed from Mike's web site since this blog entry was posted. I guess he doesn't want to sell a lifetime subscription for 70% off this Friday....three years is the highest choice available now.
