I am looking to set up my garden and am needing some supplies. Specifically seeds and dirt.
Looking in Seoul....have done some searching online but have gotten mostly flower markets as results....
I would prefer organic soil and fertilizers.

Any place with the words "종묘" in the title may work for you. They seem to cater more to real farmers instead of gardeners, but you'll find seeds.

I'm looking for a location if possible.....
Don't wanna just wander the streets looking for a sign.

Larger Daiso stores have a small selection of herb and flower seeds, and equipment.

Went to Yangjae Flower Market today....
Many flowers but the only edible plants were herbs, strawberry and blueberry plants. They said tomatoes should be arriving next week.

As for seeds and such there is an area to the left of the greenhouses with a large selection of pots and a very small selection of seeds mostly radish and Korean greens. There were no peas, tomatoes.....any of the things we typically grow at home. I asked about where to go to get seeds but they seemed to have no idea and I just had to wait tell the tomato plants arrive.

I really would prefer not having to get seeds sent from home...
