The Best Companies To Buy Your Garden Seeds From
By TIFFANY SELVEY
Baker Creek Heirloom
Their free catalog has full color, glossy photos, and vivid descriptions of unique varieties of fruits, vegetables, herbs, and flowers. Seeds can be ordered by mail, however, one of the benefits of ordering online is being able to read customer reviews.
Botanical Interests
With over 650 varieties of seeds, this company has "Signed the Safe Seed Pledge'' and uses a third company to verify their seeds are free of GMOs. Their seed packets also feature all the information you need to know about growing the seeds within.
Park Seed
Their Seed to Spoon app instructs when and how to grow plants in specific USDA Hardiness Zones. Along with providing a variety of seeds, they also sell many supplies, making the company a one-stop shop for beginner gardeners.
Renee's Garden
Having signed the Safe Seed Pledge, their seeds have not been chemically treated and are safe for beneficial insects and birds. Beyond flowers, Parade states the company focuses on selling vegetables and herbs that are the best in taste and nutrition.
Dollar Seed
Perfectly budget friendly, quality regular-sized seed packs are $1 each. While you won’t find a lot of specialty varieties, they offer Kentucky wonder green beans, a market of more than 76 cucumbers, and black-seeded Simpson lettuce.
