I’m super excited for these seeds. They are way better quality than what I buy from the home improvement stores near me and thank you so much for the Shasta daisies! I wasn’t expecting to be gifted such beauties!

Seeds arrived promptly in clear packaging. I love that I can see the seeds. I also love the free seed gifts. Now just waiting for the last freeze to plant.

I had initially left a 3 star review due to poor germination rate, the seller immediately contacted me and apologized for a potential bad batch and sent me another. I was not expecting anything from it, I had just left my review to be factual. This is great customer service and I will remain a loyal customer of this shop.

I’m not ready to plant the mint yet, but it arrived promptly and in good condition; there was also an extra packet of seeds in my order, which also included onion sets I purchased. I am very pleased with and would recommend this seller.
