Hey Garden Bestie,

While many gardens across the country are resting beneath winter’s chill, my Florida garden is still thriving. The greens are lush, the air is crisp, and I’m savoring every moment of this beautiful growing season. For many of you, this quieter time in the garden is the perfect opportunity to dream, plan, and prepare for your 2026 growing season.

I also know that money can feel tight right now, so I’ve gathered a few garden deals and sales to help you save while still investing in your future harvests. As you browse, I encourage you to keep one thought at the center: shop small and shop local whenever you can, especially this holiday season. When we support our local makers, growers, and businesses, we keep our communities strong and thriving.

Vego Garden is where I’ve purchased all of my raised beds. They’re my absolute favorite. If you’ve been thinking about starting raised-bed gardening, this is your sign.

As a Florida gardener, I know how intense our spring (which feels more like summer) heat can be. Keeping plants watered can feel like a full-time job.

That’s why I love GrowOya watering pots. You simply bury them in the soil, fill them with water, and they slowly release moisture right where your plants need it. When I use them, I can go an entire week without watering.

They’re especially useful for grow bags, which tend to dry out quickly.

If you’re new to gardening or just want a fresh start, check out the Easy Garden Kit from Gardenary. It’s designed to simplify the gardening process and includes everything you need to start growing food in just 60 days:

It’s truly a one-stop shop for the beginner gardener.

If onions are on your list for the next season, this bundle from Hoss Tools is a great deal. For $32.99, you get 150 short-day onion plants, that’s 50 each of Vidora, SoFire, and 1015Y Texas SuperSweet.

Short-day onions are ideal for gardeners in zones 7–10, where the days are shorter during the growing season. They begin forming bulbs when daylight reaches 10–12 hours, which makes them perfect for the southern U.S. and regions like Florida.

Each bundle ships fast with 2-day shipping, so you can get planting right away or prep them for your upcoming garden plan.

My Grow Food Collection was created to inspire people to consider growing their own food. Each purchase helps support the mission behind PharmUnique, educating, inspiring, and empowering others to start their garden journey.

Sales from this collection are reinvested into the business so I can continue providing quality content and resources to you and the entire PharmUnique community.

This holiday season, I want to take a moment to speak from the heart. Many small businesses are struggling right now, with some even having to close their doors. When you choose to shop local or support a small business, you’re helping keep someone’s dream alive. You’re also ensuring that authentic voices, handmade goods, and community-driven missions continue to thrive.

So as you make your holiday shopping list, I encourage you to be intentional—shop small, shop local, and invest in the people and passions that make our communities stronger.
