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!

A very disappointing experience. Bought a pack of veg and herbs. They advertise with photos of tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, aubergines. I didn't get any of them. Instead I got all sort of leaf veg... See more

I've used Chiltern for about 20 years- they didn't have pictures when I first sent for seeds!. They never fail to please. AFTER I'd done my spring order, I received through the post their new catalogue. It's absolutely stunning! The most beautiful catalogue I've ever received.
My seeds are all growing now- always good advice on how to grow them.
Thank you Chiltern for the many happy times you've given me and keep up the good work.
ps Tried tolpis last year- gorgeous!

Brilliant, diverse, expertise.
This is my sixth year using Chiltern Seeds and they never disappoint. Their increasingly well produced catalogue is one of the joys of my garden planning year and they are great at providing all the standard flower and vegetable seeds as well as promoting new, innovative and exciting additions. I recommend them to all my friends. I would love Chiltern to print dates of harvest on their seed packets- but this would be my only minor complaint.

Superb
Really excellent service. My shipment went missing and they sent me a new package the day I let them know.
I have ordered from Chiltern Seeds many times, and the seeds have always had a very high germination rate.

I've been using this company for a variety of seeds, and have had excellent results. Note that their more detailed growing instructions are found on their website, with some basic instructions on the seed packs. Seeds arrive in good order and in a timely fashion. Would always recommend.

One of my favourite seed suppliers
One of my favourite seed suppliers. Have been using them for over 30 years and never had a problem. They carry a magnificent range of ornamental and vegetable seed and there is always something new every year. Lots of information on the website, quick and easy to order, rapid delivery and their catalogues are a delight.

Great customer service experience
Great range - and have just had a very positive customer service experience too. I ordered seeds in October, having been very happy with seeds sent the previous year. Realised just yesterday evening (February) they’d not arrived. Sent an e-mail, as it was half an hour after the office shut. Half an hour later they called me, apologised that the package must have been lost in the post, and arranged to send it first class the next morning. Very impressed.

bought some seeds in April
bought some seeds in April, they have still not come though, complete waste of money, and I am an experienced gardener with an allotment which ive had for 8 years. No instructions with these seeds either.

This doesn't sound like your order was placed with Chiltern Seeds Ltd. All our seed packets are printed in house with the relevant sowing advice printed on the front, we also enclose a Cultivation Leaflet with all of our orders. Orders are dispatched in 1-2 working days and we use the Royal Mail.
These folk really know their stuff
These folk really know their stuff, great service, excellent quality seeds, never been disappointed.
