As the title says I am interested in buying the supplies needed to grow my own herbs and vegetables (e.g. cherry tomato). That is, the planter box, soil and the actual seeds.

Thanks in advance

Where are you located?

There are plenty of plant shops around Seoul. The biggest one I can think of is in Yangjae. The place is huge and will have everything you need.

They also sell some items in the large marts. The Homeplus near me recently put herb gardens on sale. I know they also have seeds and plant food but not sure about cherry tomatoes.

Even Daiso sells a bunch of different seeds. They have stores everywhere.

Or look for some flower shops in your neighborhood. They sell potting soil and pots some even sell seeds. In April and May they will sell various vegetable seedlings.

You can go to Yangjae Forest Station on the Shin-Bundang line and go out exit 4. Keep walking and it will be on your right. You can't miss it.

Or, you can go to Yangjae Station on the orange line and take exit 11. From there take any bus that goes to AT Centre. Here are just a few:

Green bus: 8441, 4432
Blue bus: 405
Village bus: 20

It will be about 4-5 stops away.
