Comments regarding Park Seed Company (aka Park's Gardens)

I have received two rose bushes in the past 4 months and they were healthy on arrival. In June I received a bare-root Dainty Bess (Hybrid Tea Rose) which flourished and has bloomed the rest of the summer. I just received a Mutabilis (China Rose) in a gallon container and it is a healthy plant full of new growth and buds.

Very good overall. A bit pricey. Consistent.

Love this place. My first & only order resulted in great blooming plants & seeds (never had success with seeds before). Will order more seeds from them.

Just got my first order from this company. I ordered five plants and they were in shipping wayyyyyyyy too long. (6 days) When they came however, they were in fine condition. I was extremely pleased! I was afraid they would all be dead.

Parks is excellent! Not only do they ship really quickly but their customer service is very helpful. I've ordered from them for a few years now and have always had very good success and a high germination rate from their seeds.

The seeds and plant I ordered were shipped promptly and in great condition. I am very satisfied with my experience with Parks!

Our business has purchased seed from Parks since the early 1960's. We have never been disappointed with the service. Our service rep Donna has gone out of her way to make sure that we are taken care of. We enjoy the hospitality of their Growers Day. Just a great company to deal with

I had good luck with this company but I only ordered seed. The order was sent promptly and was correct. Perhaps the best idea is to order only bulbs and seeds by mail order and buy rooted plants from local nurseries.

I have ordered from this company numerous times, always receiving my order in good time, and had high seed germination, except for 2001. Until reading other comments, I assumed my poor seed germination rate (from all company sources) last year to be a different cause. Now I am not so sure...

Anyway, my seed-starting mixture was infested with multi-colored asian lady beetles (MALB) that were dead or hibernating in the mix. I assumed that was the cause of my poor germination. Anybody else have comments?

The quality of seeds from Park this year is high; very good germination rates. I did not complain to the company about last year's problems, have not complained to them about anything. Queries by phone and e-mail are always promptly answered, even about things they don't advertise. Very friendly and helpful customer service.

They have a great selection of unusual varieties of plants for people who can find most common varieties of annuals and perennials locally supplied.

This started as a "neutral" but after re-reading it, I changed it to "positive". I highly recommend them.

I have bought lots here. Always good Product. Fast shipping. Will do more in the furture.

I've ordered from them a number of times and have always been happy with their products (mostly seed orders). They have a great selection and wonderful summary information on each plant. I will definitely be ordering from them again.

I just got my shipment from Park Seeds and I must say I am impressed by the livliness of the plants, none were wilted or dieing. I had a great germination of the seeds I got earlier in the year. I would definately buy from them again.

I ordered sweet pepper seeds online less than a week ago. They arrived today (FAST). The order was correct, well-packaged and loading with planting information..tips...etc. I give them a thumbs up.

This is my second year ordering seeds from Parks. Got my order within the week. Have no reason not to trust them so far. Like the catalog,with lots of pictures and informative descriptions.

I have ordered from Park since the early '80's and as yet not had a bad experience with either their phone reps. or the quality (viability) of the seed I have recieved.

I recently ordered a seed starter kit from them. It was reasonably priced and shipped fairly quickly. I was pleased with the turn around as well as the product. I haven't ordered any seed from them, though, so I can't comment on that.

I have been a Park customer for 11 years and have had very good success with their seeds. They have a wide variety to choose from and their prices and shipping are reasonable. The orders I have placed with them have always been received in a timely manner. I also catalog shop from other seed companies for varieties I cannot find in the Park catalog, but Park is by far my favorite for overall seed shopping and I place the bulk of my seed orders with them.

Lotz of buying here-no problems ever.
Use their catalog as a handguide also.

Have ordered most of my seeds from them and have had good results, have not tried to order plants from them; as the cost seems a bit high.

The seed packets are very high quality - foil with vacuum packing. Parks has many interesting varieties. Shipment is prompt and the packaging is good. The Internet site for ordering is secure and easy to use.

They are a good company. They have taken care of any problems that I had with their seeds.

I HAVE HAD GOOD SERVICE FROM THEM. BOUGHT CLEMENTIS FROM THEM AND THERE BEAUTIFUL. ANYTHING THAT DIDN'T LOOK GOOD THEY REPLACED AND WERE FINE.

Have received good products and service.

always had good service have taken care of any problems have used for years

I haven't had any problems with their seeds.

Haven't used them for a while. Didn't seem too expensive to me. I'd give them another try.

I've been very pleased with all seeds that I've ordered from Park's. Service was good and I've no complaints on the quality of the merchandise.I'm a repeat customer of several years .Although I haven't used them in a while,it's not because of any bad experience,I've just developed other intrests.

A good comapny. I think they're more expensive than some but I've never been unhappy with their products or service.

Park's is excellent in every way. I bought seeds and supplies from them when I had a small greenhouse business. They are very friendly and helpful to deal with. Since then I have bought seeds retail. Never have had any problems, always reliable.

Parks has been a good source for me for seeds over the years, I don't use them every year.

Service is good, and have not had any problems with them.

I have done business with Park Seed for almost 15 years, and have always been pleased with the level of service and quality of seeds and plants. The cantaloupes from their bonus seed this year were pretty tasty, too!

I had a good season with my Park's seed that I ordered last spring.

I also buy from Parks and have enjoyed the same happy experience from them [as Wayside.] Of course, being one and the same company. I will say that three clematis plants ordered recently are iffy for survival, but we shall see.One rule I make on mail catalogues: if they don't give the botanical name for the plant, I don't order from them. I'm sure that rule hassaved me many problems

[One of] the best places that I have had luck with is Park Seed. (They are 100% guaranteed or your money back.)

Park Seed is less expensive [than others], also has 2,000 varieties, a nice-looking catalogue and I have had better success with their seeds.

I was very pleasantly surprised when I ordered from Park's Countryside Gardens. I was stunned to see such beautiful, green, healthy plants (all of which flourished) arrive in the mail.

I recently received an order from this company that I was very pleased with. Both items were very well packed and planting a care instructions were clear. The "good news" however, was that the rose I ordered (a new English hybrid that I couldn't find anywhere else) was not only an outstanding price- but resembled 5 plants rather than 1. It has about 15 strong canes! Definitely impressed!

I am new at ordering seed catalogs, etc. Heck, I am fairly new at growing anything from seeds! Last year, I got tomato seeds from Park's and that worked out fine.

I order seeds from this company every year and they have never disappointed me. Their prompt service has enabled me to get seeds as gifts at the last minute and in time for spring planting even if I ordered late. Everything I have ordered from them has a great germination rate and I have never had a problem with any of their products or seeds. This is a premiere quality seed house and I will continue to order from them every year.
