5 Seed Deals to Snag This Black Friday
Black Friday isn't just for holiday shopping. Now is the perfect time to stock up on seeds, supplies, and garden infrastructure at prices you won't see again until next year's sales.
Contents
Black Friday is the time for deals on almost everything, including gardening. Although there are ways to garden that are more budget-friendly, we know our dream gardens can be pricey at times. Stocking up on Black Friday seed deals helps make those dreams a reality without breaking the bank.
The timing works perfectly for garden planning, too. November gives you quiet time to browse seed catalogs, compare varieties, and make thoughtful choices without the spring rush.
You’ll have seeds organized and ready to go months before planting season hits. Plus, you can also stock up on growing supplies like trays and containers so you’re 100% ready when spring arrives.
Here are our Black Friday seed deals worth jumping on this year.

20% Off Online Exclusive Seeds
Online-exclusive seeds are usually varieties you won’t find at garden centers, like heirlooms or specialty types that don’t hit retail shelves. As a result, they’re more unusual and great for experimenting in the garden. These are the Black Friday seeds that make your garden stand out rather than look like everyone else’s.
The 20% discount applies to seeds you can only get through online ordering, which often includes some of the most interesting varieties. You can grow colorful ‘Glass Gem’ corn, spooky ‘Black Kat’ pumpkins, ornamental beauties like eucalyptus, or even cacti from these seeds.
Use this deal to try varieties you’ve been curious about but hesitant to buy. Unusual seeds are worth experimenting with, and the discount makes failures less expensive. Order a mix of reliable favorites and adventurous experiments.
Plan your spring garden now while you have time to think. Map out bed layouts, calculate how many Black Friday seeds you actually need, and order everything in one go. Seeds purchased now can be stored in a cool, dry place until spring planting time.
25% Off Seed-Starting Supplies
Seed-starting supplies include trays, cells, humidity domes, grow lights, and so on. Basically, everything you need to grow transplants indoors before spring arrives. A quarter off these supplies makes setting up or expanding your seed starting setup much more affordable. If you’ve been eyeing a heat mat or saving up for a few grow lights, now is the time to get them.
Quality seed starting trays last for years if you clean and store them properly, so investing in good ones during sales makes sense. Cheap trays crack and warp after one season, but sturdy options withstand multiple years of use.
Start organizing your seed starting area now so you’re ready when January rolls around. You can usually start most Black Friday seeds around six weeks before your last frost date (which means seed starting season begins much earlier than outdoor planting).
25% Off Vertical Planters
If you have a smaller garden or have filled up all your existing growing space for the season, vertical planters are great for maximizing growing space. These are particularly valuable for balconies or situations where ground space is limited, but you still want substantial harvests.
The discount applies to the popular GreenStalk vertical planting systems, each with individual pockets to grow a wide variety of plants in a small space. Choose your size based on what you’re growing and where you need vertical space. Quality vertical planters are investment pieces that last many seasons.
Set up vertical structures in fall or early spring before planting. If you have a protected area, you can even use them to start growing in winter. Order now with your Black Friday seeds, and you’ll have them ready to install and grow ASAP.
25% Off Raised Metal Beds
Metal raised beds offer durability and longevity that other beds can’t match. They don’t rot, don’t need treating, and last decades with minimal maintenance. The upfront cost may be higher than DIY wooden beds, but not when you can get 25% off during Black Friday.
These beds warm up quickly, extending your growing season in both spring and fall. Metal conducts heat, so soil temperatures rise faster than in wood beds. This allows for earlier planting dates and later fall harvests, making the most of your available garden space.
A quarter off is significant on raised beds since they’re major purchases. This discount might make the difference between buying one bed or three, or upgrading to larger sizes that provide more growing space.
Order and plan installation for early spring (unless you live in a warmer climate where it’s not unreasonable to put together raised beds outdoors in the middle of winter). Raised beds need level ground and proper positioning for sun exposure. Measure your space now, calculate how many beds fit, and order during the sale.
Free Shipping
Although I’d argue this is the least exciting Black Friday seed deal, free shipping on all orders over $39 does eliminate the cost barrier that often makes online seed ordering feel expensive.
This is the best time to place your big spring order. Get your Black Friday seeds, supplies, and equipment all at once without paying separate shipping fees. Calculate everything you’ll need for the entire spring season rather than making multiple small orders later.
Combine free shipping with other discounts for maximum savings. Order discounted seeds and supplies together to get both the percentage off and free delivery. The savings add up when you’re strategic about what goes in your cart.
Create a spring planting plan before ordering so you know exactly what Black Friday seeds you need. It’s tempting to overbuy when shipping is free, but you’ll save more by ordering intentionally rather than grabbing random packets that might not fit your garden plan.
