Wish I had seen all these negative reviews before ordering Delivery is sloooooow! Is order being subtracted out for bids? Who knows how long delivery time itself will be. "Packaging time" needed to put together 10 packs of seed prior to shipping is terrible. Order a year ahead if plan to have in time for planting season. Forget all those 15% off promotions and $2.99 shipping enticements. Not worth it. They do not respond to inquiries either.No idea about germination since I'm still waiting for delivery.

Poor search function and inaccurate descriptions. I search the site to purchase bulk seed. It was unclear when the listed product switched from seed to live plants however, when my order came, it was not bulk seed rather it was plants. Park seed To take responsibility for the unclear descriptions and would not refund my money. I’m extremely disappointed and would not recommend anyone purchasing seed from Park Seed.

Long-term customer, mostly good experience I have been a Park Seed customer for well over a decade and have experienced mostly favorable results. They offer a wide variety--that is what keeps me coming back--that and habit, I guess. I like buying smaller amounts of a wide variety of seeds because storing them long-term does compromise germination rates, but the tradeoff is higher price per seed. In one order a couple of years ago, I discovered that the bell peppers seeds I paid for did not arrive, and contacting the company got me nowhere. Other than that I have always received what I ordered, so I just wrote off the loss and ordered seeds again from them the next year.

Bad seed quality & selectively publishing reviews I ordered different seeds from them and the overall germination rate was very poor. The worst ones were the super sugar snap peas: out of 30+ seeds planted, roughly 80% ended up rotting. The ones that ended up germinating looked weakly and eventually died off. In contrast, I also bought snap seeds from two other companies and the germination rate was 100% & speedy. This means that the issue was with the seeds specifically ordered from Park Seeds. I submitted a review on their website and I'm more than certain they will not be posting it publicly. I only see 5-star reviews for all their products, with several years apart.

Satisfaction and Admiration- A Park success! My purchases go back to the 1970’s when I had a beginners garden! Park Seed Company was the only company I used. More recently after retirement I have the time to “play in the dirt” - like a kid in the proverbial “sand box!” I enjoy browsing through the Park catalogue and have wishful thoughts of growing so many of the beautiful flowers and vegetables. I have never been disappointed with the quality of seed and the outcome produced. Park Seed is a highly reliable and customer oriented company!
