Comments regarding Heirloom Seeds

I LOVE Heirloom Seeds! They have a great selection, including some organics, the prices are great, lots of helpful info, fast shipping and the seeds germinate with virtually no duds! Their selection of tomatoes is huge and they send free seeds with your order and base the selection on what you ordered and what they think you might like to try, so you know your order got individual attention. This is a spring must shop place for me.

Wonderful! Seeds were here in less than a week! They have some hard-to-find things and it's so fun to try these heirlooms. Can't wait til it's time to plant my garden.

I love Heirloom Seeds, they have been my main source for veggie seed for going on 8 years now. I have limited space and therefore mostly direct sow. Their germination rate is fantastic and they are always sending extras with your order - free seed, instructions, etc - all tailored to what you order.

Heirloom Seeds has been my vegetable garden choice for my church and personal garden for years. Every transaction that I have had with them has been very successful. When I order seeds, they get here in record time with some free seeds. Their seeds are top quality and have about a 98% sprouting outcome. The heirloom seeds help me support one of my personal missions of eco, historical and healthful action. I have taught many people and children about heirloom seeds. On-line Heirloom Seeds has the best historical and descriptive information on ALL of the plant seeds that they sell. They will always be my first choice for vegetable seeds.

Ordered on a thursday after lunch. Order arrived monday. With after lunch orders on the same side of the coast it is rare that they ship the same day, so I was rather impressed by the speed. The order was for seeds only. The seeds were packaged well. The price was very reasonable and seed packets were of the expected size. Similar seed varieties at baker creek and sse would have been at least double the price as here and packets are of similar size. I ordered from baker creek and sse one week prior to this order and have not recieved their shipments yet. Also of note is that 6 free seed packets were included, the six packets were really cool varieties and not something common or generic. The 6 free packets, i figured were worth a couple of bucks a piece. Very satisfied, packaged well, fast shipping, free stuff, etc., etc.. If the seeds grow, and I expect them too, this transaction will be the best I have ever had.

I ordered from Heirloom Seeds for the first time this year. I placed my order on Monday, and received my shipment on Saturday, and I live half-way across the country. I will definitely order again next year. Love their selection and prompt service.

I've ordered a number of times from Heirloom Seeds in recent years. Not only is the service prompt and the packaging solid but - most importantly - the seeds are of second-to-none quality. They include a free packet of seeds and their selection of the free packet seems to be based on what they can figure out about your interests based upon what you have ordered. In other words, these folks give individualized attention to each order. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

My 6 year old daughter and I planted some seeds indoors in peat pots on a Sunday, on Tuesday I took a peek and some were already starting to sprout! I was very pleased with the order and the speed in which I got my seeds. I know I will order from this company again in the Spring.

Received seeds very quickly. Germination was over 85% on over 100 tomato seeds. They continue to do well after transplanting. Easy to deal with, good prices, and terrific seeds.

II love these seeds. I have ordered from them for the last two years and been incredibly pleased. The seeds arrived quickley, the germination and planting information on their website was helpful to me, their prices were reasonable and I think their overall selection is the best I've found.

My only complaint would be the outrageously successful germination and growth of the tomato seeds. I ended up with so many healthy seedlings last year I had to take plants to local community gardens to find homes for them all!

I ordered lots of lettuce seed from this company this Spring and all performed well except the Salad Bowl variety which simply refused to germinate. I explained my problem to Heirloom Seeds and they were back to me in a matter of hours. They promptly sent another Salad Bowl packet plus another lettuce variety. This second packet turned out to be no better than the first one. I contacted them again to let them know about the bad seed, explaining that I thought they had done all that I could expect of them. Within a few days, I received a packet of a different lettuce seed from them in the mail. Their customer service is the fastest I've seen yet, and they genuinely cared about my problem. They've definetly got my business from here on out!

Fast service, very good selection, and reasonable prices on all their seeds. Received free packets of seed with my order.

Baker Creek, Select Seeds, Seeds of Change, and Park Seeds all have sent me free packets of seeds with my orders. Also, The Fragrant Path has sent free seeds with my order for years. A very nice company to do business with. Although I don't expect it, I really appreciate this added bonus by these companies.

Johnny's and Cook's Garden did not send free packets.

Great service! Ordering was a breeze on the internet...my order was verified and shipped within days. Could not be faster!!

I ordered a variety of tomato and pepper seeds, and I choose Heirloom Seeds because of what I read here and their great selection of varities.

And I got a couple of free packs of seeds....tomato and pepper seeds ...it seemed tailored to what I ordered...I like that.

thanx for a great experience...they have 2 thumbs up from me:)

Great selection of seeds, good prices and the seeds arrived in less than a week. I will definitely order again.

Great selection of tomato seeds!!

My second year ordering from this company. Got my seeds in about a week, same as last year. Great selection of hard to find heirloom tomato seeds, and germination rate is very high. Highly recommend.

Great selection and price. Seeds are nicely packaged and labelled with clear growing instructions. Order arrived fast.

This year was the third time ordering from heirloom seeds. Every order has been excellent. I placed a large seed order this year and within the week I had my seeds.
Germination rate is very good as is the price of seed packets. Very pleased in every way and I highly recommend them!

Placed order on Jan 13, 2004, complete order arrived at my residence on Jan 15, 2004. Great service!!

I ordered seed from them last year (2003) and was very pleased. Shipment was prompt and the quality of seed was excellent. I will be sending out my 2004 order shortly.

This is one of the four companies I order from. Since I only plant heirloom veggies, I look for the companies that supply variety in old favorites. If I can't get what I want from here, I go to one of the other three companies. Always prompt service and never had a problem with germination. Their website is up dated and easy to navigate.

Great seed company, I order most all of my seeds here. You can find varieties at Heirloom that not available elsewhere, and just about every seed planted becomes a little seedling....no duds!!

This company was the most Johnny on the spot in informing me when my order would be shipped. I have only ordered twice but both times I received my order withen 5 days. O yes the seeds, I have no problem with them coming up.

I love this company. Have used them for 3 years and have had great experience every time. Great germination rates and I have always gotten exactly what I ordered. I would rate this company over any others mentioned here.

Absolutely wonderful company!

A nice selection of heirloom seeds, great service, fast shipping.

Best of all, everything I planted is coming along nicely and the tomatoes look especially wonderful, can't wait to try them in a few weeks.

Will gladly order from them again. :)

I ordered from them a number of times this season, and seeds were shipped promptly each time. They have a good selection of hard to find seeds as well.

I just received my order from Heirloom Seeds, within 7 days of mailing them my $20.00 order with a personal check. I found them on the web searching for a source for 'Purple Cherokee' tomatoes. In addition to having my order filled promptly and correctly, I thought their prices were really good--most flowers and herbs were $1.25 per pack. The tomato seeds were only $1.50 per pack--typically for a smaller quantity of seeds than you'd typically get, 20 per pack I think. I actually find this to be to my benefit, after having to find homes for over 150 excess tomato seedlings last year. I also liked the variety--I found almost all of my 'cottage garden' must-haves here. Plus some I didn't expect, and a free gift of seeds. Hopefully the germination rate will be as high quality as their service.

a very good experience. order was shipped the next day with no back orders or substituted items. will order again.
