Most of your garden seeds are germinated and growing healthy in my small back yard gardening. I would give you a 5 stars, but few of seeds (Watercress)didn't germinated. All my herbs are thriving in... See more

While I love supporting local/regional companies, and Pine Tree is super friendly and efficient, I am disappointed this year with the poor germination of many of the seeds. I am a very seasoned garden... See more

I like the selection and the prices are reasonable. Plus germination rates are better than some of the packaged seeds in stores. We have vegetables growing year round. We save seeds and buy loose seed... See more

I have to agree that the germination…

I have to agree that the germination rates are not up to par with these seeds. Typically inconsistent. I have watched the catalog grow and I wonder if the size of the business is now impacting quality. I used to order more from this company but found those issues problematic. I wonder if they are saving seed (for 1-3 yrs.) and selling that in the current year which could account for these issues. Also, they may be sourcing some of their seed from growers who do this and be unaware of it. I really love that one can order raw ingredients for body care and make more healthy products to use. In my mind, that would be a prime reason to order from this company. Might be useful to know how/where they source the seed they sell. Please note that these reviews also mine your data, including email lists and friends. Another problem, in my mind. If this review software or service is offered free to companies, then they are getting your data in return.

Placed my first order friday and emailed to check on status and they said it takes 4-5 business days to ship an order? I only ordered a few packs of seeds, that seems like a long time to me to ship.

Hi Angela,
Thanks for the feedback. I am sorry you are disappointed by our busy season order fulfillment timeline. I know it is so hard to wait when you are excited to get planting! We do try to let people know, on our website, that typical turnaround time is several days. I apologize that this was not communicated to you. We are working hard to get orders out as quickly as possible!

A great small seed company that never disappoints

I have ordered seeds, books and other products from Pinetree Garden Seeds for many years. They have always stood behind their products. I love the seed packet sizes for the home gardener and the price! Their seeds are well suited for NH gardens. Customer service is great when needed. Delivery is prompt and shipping fees are extremely reasonable. I cannot think of one thing I don't like. Try them...they won't disappoint.

Many of the seed didn't germinate

Many of the seed didn't germinate. Or they germinated inside, they died when I transplanted them. Only one, a radicchio, grew, but it didn't head.

Your catalogue doesn't give nearly the adequate directions that the Territorial catalogue does. It's hard to know how to grow your seeds.

You told me one of my credit cards didn't pay for my purchase. I used a different card and it worked. There was nothing wrong with the original card.

Love this place

Love this place! Great seed quality and in a quantity I can USE! Great prices - and I can get all the "odd" or different varieties I want without having to buy hybrid this or that!

I have been buying seeds from Pinetree …

I have been buying seeds from Pinetree for a few years now. I have never had a problem. I like how they have experience with the vegetable seeds they sell, & tell about that experience. I really like the affordable prices ! I like the assortment of natural, DIY skincare items they sell. To me, Pinetree feels like a friend.
