Seeds & Gardening Materials

I've looked around Metro Manila in search of the best place to get seeds and materials to begin my experiment.

There are many other seed suppliers but the top two are Ramgo (Maybunga Pasig City) & Known-You 農友 (Taiwanese International Company).

Ramgo

Aside from the above sites, you can also get them in groceries and hardware stores. Here's my top 5 places to get them:

5. Market Market

A few stalls in the open area of Market Market sell plants, herbs, orchids, fertilizers, seeds and soil.

4. True Value & Ace Hardware

True Value & Ace Hardware has a couple of pots and planters, saucers, tools like shears, scissors, pruners, gloves, spray bottles, water sprinklers, labels, fertilizers, seedling tray, grow pots, and Ramgo seeds and Yates seeds. Mostly everything Ramgo has to offer.


3. Shopwise Supermarket

I've been to Shopwise Araneta Center and they sell seeds from Ramgo, Known-You, and sometimes Yates. I'm just not sure if they sell these in all Shopwise branches. No garden supplies here though..


2. Farmer's Market

Farmer's Market has a plant section that sells basically almost everything you need. Most of the affected stall owners of the closed Manila Seedling Bank (in Quezon City) has moved here in Farmer's Market to open their stalls. Here you can find gardening tools and equipment like garden nets, ornamental plants, herbs, hanging plants, orchids, flowering plants, and even fruit trees. There's only one stall here that sells fruit trees and plants. The owners are really nice, friendly and approachable and can even help you bring your plants to your car.

1. Metro Supermarket & Rustans Supermarket

If you're only looking for seeds so you can experiment on your own or maybe have some fun activity with your kids, I would strongly suggest Metro Supermarket in Market Market. This place has almost every seed I need from ornamental plants to vegetables to fruit plants all from Known-You.

The newly renovated Rustan's Supermarket in Glorietta area is my new number one choice. It has a lot of seeds to choose from (both Known-You and Ramgo) and even has a small section of potted fresh herbs like Coriander, Thyme, Basil, and Rosemary.
