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

My experience with Pinetree Seeds

Only once in the several years I've ordered from Pinetree Seeds, did I have a problem and it was quickly resolved. (item missing from my shipment) I particularly like the small quantity seed packets and the selection is varied enough that I don't have the same plants every year. I order both flower and veg seeds and start many indoors and the seeds germinate fast. The only recommendation I'd make is for more info on the seed packs re: hardiness, approx bloom time from germination, type of feeding recommended etc. (most packs do say to start indoors some no. of weeks ahead of last frost in northern zones) The soap making supplies are good and reasonably priced as well as essential oils. They have sales from time to time and the website is easy to navigate. Jef and Melissa are very personable and actually take the time to respond to questions or problems themselves - very rare quality these days!

Great seed supplier

Been ordering from Pinetree for as long as I remember. Never had any problems with them. I love being able to buy assortment packs of vegetable varieties. Not only do I enjoy eating varied types, but that they ripen across the season rather than all at once is handy for fresh eating.

Wide variety

lots of varieties of plants, seeds, sets available with excellent descriptions--interesting products and books at a discount--hobbyist in soap and scent making look no further.

Ten Plus Years of Great Seeds

Minor difficulty of one pack of spinach seeds having poor germination. Pinetree Garden Seeds offered to replace the packet, I declined -- not worth the effort. Over ten plus years, this is the only instance of a problem. I like their prices and selection of seeds.

I appreciate the great selection of seeds, the low cost, the efficient delivery and helpful staff. I did have some crop failures with several types of seed that normally germinates easily. If that had not happened, I would have given Pinetree Garden Seeds a five star rating. Thanks for asking and for caring.

Wonderful Seed Company!

My seeds and corms grew wonderfully this year! They were better than I expected and the customer service is wonderful. I will be ordering from Pinetree seeds for many years to come. Everything I bought grew even though we had a strangely cold dry season this year, success!

Fast service

Fast service, all products as advertised in catalog.
We especially liked the Genovese Zucchini and Greyzini Summer Squash.
Both very productive and producing over a long period of time.

Pinetree has always been very friendly …

Pinetree has always been very friendly and responsive when I've had a question. I like the fact that you can get packets with a smaller number of seeds than some other seed companies. This year and last year I've had problems with some seeds not coming up (particularly various greens). I'm not sure if it has something to do with my soil or the weather, so I'll try again next year. Except for this issue, I would have given 5 stars.

Pinetree is a great source for seeds and gardening supplies

Pinetree has been my main source of seeds for many years. Great variety of seeds including many heirloom and organic. Very successful germination rate. Excellent value. Helpful descriptions and planting information. Nice selection of general gardening products. Great service. Only once had the wrong packet shipped and they immediately sent the correct one.
