Catalogues during COVID
Garden Express has been producing 5 printed catalogues per year for many years.
2020 has produced many challenges for the world, it has also given us at Garden Express as well as the entire horticultural industry challenges in supplying products to Australian gardeners. With a lot of the country at home more and not able to travel, many people have turned their focus towards their gardens and their homes.
This has put pressure on our ability to be able to procure enough stock for a 10-week catalogue cycle and guarantee supply. Garden Express and most of our supply partners have exhausted nearly all of the stock they had planned for spring sales.
We have had to make the difficult decision to not produce printed catalogues during COVID impacted Australia, at least for the remainder of 2020 and perhaps into 2021. Instead, we will release a number of smaller online catalogues as flipbooks as well as sending out emails to our loyal subscribers and social media followers. We understand that many people use our printed catalogues to select the products they want to buy, but in these times, by the time the catalogue arrived in your letterbox most items would be sold out.
You can find these flipbooks here.
Rather than save products for a printed catalogue release, at Garden Express we will offer the product lines to you as soon as we harvest them or can procure them from our suppliers.
For now, we will be telling all of our loyal customers about our new products through emails, our social media pages and this website.
Take a look our What’s New and Online Offers sections to see products as we get them.

We hope that things will return to normal once this extraordinary time has moved on. But we all hear the term, what is the new normal? We will have to wait and see.
David, Jenni and all the Team at Garden Express
