Customer Reviews
Just received my herb seeds and I am already impressed. The packaging was excellent, secure, neat, and clearly labeled. I haven't planted them yet, but everything arrived in perfect condition and looks high quality. Excited to get started and I am confident they will grow beautifully.

Five Stars are just not enough!! Customer Service was great when I contacted the seller regarding a USPS issue. I received quality seeds that were well packaged. Thank you! I will order again.
Seeds prospered, good seller. Delivered on time.
I order my seeds here every year. They're always extremely reliable. This year I've had no luck at all with them. I'm sure "I" did something wrong. The seller even took the time to write a lengthy email with instructions on how to plant.
