Consider it the new general store. Sales at Amazon account for 43 cents of every dollar spent online in the U.S., according to Slice Intelligence, a Silicon Valley company that tracks e-commerce trends. It’s no wonder that many of our favorite items—including houseplants, gardening tools, tool bags, and outdoor shower kits—are available on Amazon.
We’re happy to take advantage of convenience, low prices, and prime delivery (at least until drone delivery becomes a reality; at that point we may be tempted to channel our inner Betty Draper to defend the airspace above the backyard with a BB gun). So here’s a list of 20 Gardenista favorites you can source on Amazon:
Above: A Gardenista favorite (metal florist buckets earned a spot on our list of Gardenista 100 essentials in the Gardenista book), a powder coated galvanized steel Florist Bucket is a petite version suitable for use as a 10-8-inch-high vase; $22.81 on Amazon,
Mother in Law’s Tongue Houseplant
Above: A live Mother-In-Law’s Tongue Sansevieria houseplant measures measure from 10 to 12 inches tall and comes in a plastic 6-inch grower’s pot (clay pot not included). Hard to kill, happy in low light, and long-lived, it’s our pick for any first-timer who wants to create an indoor plant collection. It is $19 from Amazon.
