We now have our 2008 catalog as downloadable PDFs on our website. By using a digital format, we hope to conserve the resources needed to print catalog plus the energy used to ship it to you. This will help us keep costs down along with the prices you pay for seeds and plants, and also allow us to keep the catalog up to date. You can immediately access the entire Nichols 2008 catalog and use it with the online store, which functions the same as it has before. By opening two browser windows you can read the PDF version in one and utilize our website in the other for ordering.

We would like to one day go totally green and not use the paper, ink and transportation for thousands of catalogs. We realize an in hand copy of our annual seed catalog helps you anticipate your gardening season and will be sending a catalog unless you request otherwise. We would like to hear what you think about this online version.

We support Plant A Row for The Hungry, a national program of the Garden Writer's Association. To learn more about PAR see the sidebar. In 2004, Rose Marie and fellow GWA members built a display garden at Northwest Flower and Garden Show to promote PAR. This garden featured a border of straw bales planted with salad greens. To read about straw bale culture follow the link to straw bale gardening.

In a time of corporate culture and takeovers, Nichols remains a family operated business steeped in a tradition of fine culinary gardening. For over 50 years we've been committed to excellent service, selection, and the highest quality products. We are an original signer of the safe seed pledge and offer no genetically modified seed, plants, or products.

"The Bountiful Container" by Rose Marie Nichols McGee and Maggie Stuckey is our most popular book and a complete guide to growing vegetables, herbs, fruits and edible flowers in containers.
