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.

Can’t’ wait to start planting! A wide range of seeds were supplied in a box, elegantly covered with tissue paper and individual bags indicating which bulbs were in them. A very informative pamphlet was supplied, explaining the various heights and planting requirements for each bulb variety. Cannot wait to start planting for next year's display.

Terrible germination rate. I am an experienced gardener. I have a greenhouse and start almost everything from seed every year. I bought many different vegetable and herbs seeds from Parks this year. The germination was horrible. Some packs did not germinate at all. Seriously 0% germination. Others had a germination rate of 20% - 50%. I planted some year old banana pepper seeds from a different company and had near 100% germination. That same day I planted a pack of new Parks bell pepper seeds and only one seed germinated. There is no date on the seed packets. The horrible germination causes me to suspect that I received old seeds.

One of the worst companies I have ever… One of the worst companies I have ever dealt with. First, I placed an order with a Visa gift card. There were no issues and I received a shipping confirmation. 3 days later I received a call and email saying the order didn't process and that they need a new credit card for payment. I essentially said no, because it seemed very shady and the order was showing as pending on the card. They also over charged me be $1.02. After arguing about this with customer service (Janice) I said cancel the order I don't want it. They told me to write return to sender on the box and ship it back (which I did). I don't know why they didn't send a return address label (very unprofessional). Now today I checked my card and it was fully processed. SO, they took my money, had me ship back their product and essentially stole from me.

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.
