Comments regarding SeedsNow.com

Small samples of seeds are good for small gardens. But they are packaged in PLASTIC bags which Does not naturally degrade and presents many environmental problems. It also makes it very hard to retrieve tiny seeds

I ordered from them last year since I was happy to see so many .99 seed packets. When the seeds arrived they were all in TINY little plastic baggies and there were very few seeds in each one. While the price is lower, you end up getting far fewer seeds for your money. I also really disliked all the use of plastic. There was no growing information on the seed packets since they were so tiny. The company has an affiliate program, which means they pay people a cut if they get others to buy there. They seem very focused on profits and gimmicks, less on quality and not at all on helping the environment (something that's important to me).

This year I'm buying from one of my regular stand-by companies even though the price per seed pack is a little higher. I'm also going to try to do more trading and seed saving. I think the Seeds Now seeds were no better than the 15 cent seed packs at the dollar store, only in lots of plastic so worse for the environment.

Regarding their non-GMO pledge, almost all seeds from seed companies are automatically non-GMO. Unless you're buying from Monsanto, you're buying non-GMO seeds. I avoid GMO foods and seeds too, but this company is not any different from others. And all organic seeds are automatically non-GMO, so if you buy organic you will automatically ensure that you're not buying genetically modified seeds or foods.

I have bought seeds from quite a few online companies. And my experience with this company I would say is average.

Most of the seeds germinated well.

My biggest complaint with this company IS their website. It is heavily overloaded with too many elements on a single page. When a person wants to look at carrots, it would be nice if we could simply look at carrots, and not get hit recommendation, popular trends, news, ads, etc etc etc. This company tries to hard to upsell, which hits me wrong. Hence the reason why I only use them as a last resort.
