"I am very pleased with these seeds. They germinated quickly in my hydronic system."

"Very good seeds, LOTS of seeds, and the packaging is really pretty. I have some in my garden right now and the cilantro and chives are almost ready for harvest!"

— AB

"This product is perfect for the casual gardener who wants a variety of herbs but isn't planting a massive garden. I didn't need large packs of seeds--just a few of each herb. I got more than I expected and these will keep me going with my little herb garden for a few years. I haven't planted anything yet but the seeds arrived promptly, well packaged and well labelled, and with a lovely note from the seller. Thank you very much!"

— Alison Martin
