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

Pinetree Garden Seed has great product and great business practices.
I had trouble germinating one package of the seeds I got, but Pinetree sent a replacement without any questions. I've dealt with them for years and have always been happy with the results.
Easy to order online, seeds came fast through the mail. Good selection even at mid-September.
Pinetree is one of my trusted sources for my gardening needs. No complaints at all.
Shopping is always very fast. Seeds never fail to germinate.
A nice selection; home garden-sized packets; very reasonable prices, great service.
Pinetree, as always, is my go-to seed and supply store. Great prices, great service! I just scored on their end of season sale with big markdowns on supplies. I buy my seeds from them every year - I like the smaller quantities with the smaller prices. I don't grow a giant garden anymore and it encourages me to try more varieties.
Pinetree seeds perform well - the prices are great and the size of packages perfect for home gardeners ( I can order three kinds of sunflowers and no go into debt). Thee descriptions of the plants are always spot on and the service is solid. It is the place where I buy all my seeds.
I find that the small packs and good price are great when trying out a new seed. I had been buying a purple pole bean for years, but now they don't carry them any more and I miss having this selection.
I am a professional grower. I have bought my seeds from Pinetree Seeds for years with the most beautiful and delicious results. Thank You Pinetree!
We purchased Patterson onion plants, about 600 individual plants. We had a whopper year!! The majority of the onions are softball sized and oh so sweet!
Pinetree is my go to stock company for onions. Thank you Pinetree! ! You never disappoint us.
I have been ordering from Pinetree for many years, first in Ohio and now in Virginia. I have had a few seed failures but for the most part everything germinates well and then it's all up to me after that! I am still getting a handle on which varieties do well in our hot, humid climate. Our soil is sandy clay here and I've been able to grow good carrots for the first time ever! We have a whole different set of pests here too. I'm still trying to get a good tomato crop, just have to find the variety that does well here. Customer service is great and the orders come quickly. Oh, the Diva cucumbers are the best. We went on vacation for two weeks and when we returned there was a cucumber 3" around and about 11" long. It had at least an inch of good flesh between the seeds and skin and it wasn't bitter at all!

I have ordered seeds and seed potatoes from Pinetree Garden for a number of years now. I always get good value and great service.
I've been using Pine Tree seeds, since well before the internet was even heard of, I love them, they offer wonderful seeds at a reasonable price, I've always had good luck their onion sets, I grew some huge Walla Wallas this year, sweet and delicious And healthy large potatoes, They always send the spring planting products on time for my zone, I really cannot say how much I love these Maine folk They do good work, And thank you so much foe years of service,
Excellent company for small hobby grower - seed packets typically contain fewer seeds than other companies and are priced lower, so a greater variety of seeds can be bought with the same amount of $$$. For a home garden, the packets supply plenty of seeds. Service is fast. I look forward to my Pinetree catalog every year.
I have nothing but nice things to say about the company. I have used them for over 20 years I'm sure. I like that they have cheap prices and that is because they don't give you 200 seeds or more in a pack. Most home gardeners don't need all those seeds and so the price they charge is less.
I was attracted to the very reasonable price of the seed packets as well as the availability of some varieties that I didn't found in other catalogs. However, when the packets arrived I realized that the low price was because of the small number of seeds. I will probably still access seeds from this company which don't seem to be available elsewhere, but I won't rely on them to provide so many of my seeds. Service was good, though, and I am enjoying the interesting colorants I found in the catalog which I use in soap-making.
