Excellent customer service from Nina who arranged for priority delivery and even followed up to ensure that I received them. Could not recommend highly enough. Looking forward to sowing them now!

CGreat seeds, great service.

I've grown some really interesting and lovely plants over the years from their seeds. They are a;ways happy to help with any advice you may need to, I've been extremely happy with my seeds and the services they provide over the years. Thank you Chiltern seeds.
Best seed company ever!
Easily one of the best seed companies in the world. They have an incredible variety, with detailed description on their site, and their prompt response to emails is first class. Highly recommended.

Fantastic Quality Seeds & Outstanding Service!
Chiltern Seeds is an absolute delight for any gardening enthusiast. Their selection is incredible, offering a wide variety of high-quality seeds that have been a joy to grow. The packaging is carefully done, and orders always arrive promptly. Their customer service is excellent—friendly, helpful, and clearly passionate about what they do.
But be warned… buying from Chiltern Seeds is highly addictive! Once you place your first order, you’ll find yourself coming back for more. Highly recommend!
Excellent company. Sent a photo and they identified the flower. Veronica. Used them for years.

Fantastic service every time
Fantastic service every time! When I left an item off my order (completely my fault) I was able to add it easily and promptly with no stress at all! Really grateful! My favourite place to buy seeds
Lack of information
I often buy your seeds but was disappointed that the guide to germinating and sowing has been removed. It will not be helpful for new gardeners to have to look for information when they will be busy in spring. Cost cutting perhaps but information is vital to becoming successful so please make it available on each package. I tried to look on your web site but gave up
Disappointed with the lack of useful and meaningful service. Monica Stuart Canada.

Reply from Chiltern Seeds
Probably the best seed company out there
I've been using Chiltern Seeds for years. Their customer service is superb and the website is nicely designed and easily searchable. Other seed companies have cut costs over the years and declined as a result, but Chiltern Seeds continues to impress.
A great shopping experience
A great shopping experience, real people to speak with. Extremely knowledgeable. Products arrived promptly and were securely packed.
excellent seed choices
excellent seed choices, superb website and great service- I order from the US and have been extremely pleased with every aspect of my ordering process
Let the growing begin....
I first discovered Chiltern Seeds during lockdown and had great success growing vegetables. After a gardening 'blip' I'm ready to start again and have ordered a lovely selection of flower seeds this time. Customer service is excellent and responses to email queries always very prompt and friendly. A family run business that really cares.
Chiltern Seeds is absolutely wonderful!
Chiltern Seeds is a wonderful company! I am a flower farmer in Canada and I have used Chiltern seeds for several years. They have a huge selection of seeds (better than anything I can find in North America) and they have great prices and reasonable shipping to Canada. Recently my package was very late in arriving, and Chiltern Seeds kindly offered to send out another duplicate package right away! The delay was likely the fault of Canada Post (there was a recent postal strike, and possibly the package was waylaid during the recovery from that), but I am really appreciate Chiltern Seeds doing their best to make it right. I cannot recommend them enough. They have excellent customer service, a huge variety of seeds, and use environmentally friendly non plastic packaging.
Chiltern Seeds are a great company
Chiltern Seeds is a great company. They stock an amazing range of seeds, they deliver promptly, the catalogue/website is very informative.
If I've ever needed to contact them they have been very helpful and have retained their small company feel. I highly recommend them.
Great company
Great communication when i asked about delivery,always have good germination from the seeds sent fron Chiltern Seeds.
Amazing personal touch
The quality of the seeds were brilliant. I bought Agretti an Italian herb which is notoriously difficult to germinate. I had little faith to be honest. However, germinate they did within the week. The seeds arrived with detailed instructions and any queries I had were responded to immediately. The company is extremely knowledgeable about plant management. The seeds arrived quickly, packed in cardboard not plastic something which I value. Based on this experience Chiltern Seeds would be my first choice.
Great Service, Even Better Seeds!
I’ve been buying seeds from this company for a while now, and I can honestly say I’m very impressed. Recently my order got lost in the mail, and they sent me a new batch of seeds without any issues. They were super fast, helpful and friendly about it.
The quality and range of the seeds is brilliant too. I’ve had great success with both vegetables and flowers.
An extra plus is their simple paper packaging.
All in all, I’m really happy and I definitely recommend you buy from them.
Heartily recommended!
Very helpful and efficient when I wanted to add to my order. Have bought seeds from Chiltern over several years, always a good variety of ordinary and unusual seeds at reasonable prices. They don’t charge the earth for postage either! Great germination rates.
Unfortunately my order failed to arrive…
Unfortunately my order failed to arrive so I contacted CS and they were kind enough to replace the lost seeds. Thank you CS.
