1. Where to buy seeds or seedlings

Supermarkets

In big supermarkets like SM Hypermarket and Robinsons Supermarket, there's usually one rack or shelf where seeds are displayed.

Online

The Gift Farm has prices of their seeds online. You can contact them through their website. The best part is they deliver to any destination in the Philippines.

Ramgo Seeds has their own online store in their website, where you can register and place your order, just like your popular shopping apps.

Quezon Memorial Circle

This is one of the most popular go-to spots for gardening hobbyists in Metro Manila. In one area of the park, you'll find over 30 stalls selling seeds, seedlings, and garden supplies.

Cedarhills Garden Center

Also located in Quezon City, they sell seeds, pots, fertilizers, potting mixtures and soil conditioners. You can also check out their products and prices on their Facebook page.
