Plants are what gardening is all about - whether for fresh food or a feast for the eyes, or both.

Compare delivery charges for popular seed and plant mail order suppliers, and find the best overall deal.

Growing your own food can be as simple as herbs or a fruit tree in a patio pot or as ambitious as a kitchen garden allotment, or something in between - a small vegetable plot or a decorative potager.

Whether for the freshest possible food, for satisfaction, for self-sufficiency or for knowing exactly what's gone into the crop, or for all four, give it a go.
