Previously I have really only used migardener.com for seed purchasing online. I have had really no issues with that online store. I have recently come across seedsavers.org and that website seems pretty legit.

Would everyone mind broadening my horizons and advising of your favorite online seed stores? There are so many of these scammy gardening seed websites now that you have to be very careful.

I do personally prefer to seed flowers over veggie and fruit germination. I'm really looking forward to expanding my annual flower collection this year for my Floridian flower garden.
Thanks, everyone!

Seed savers is also a great website--you would be perfectly safe ordering from them.

I have personally ordered from these sites many times, with great results. Please keep in mind due to COVID, some shipping times are taking longer.

Thank you everyone! Just placed an order for some seeds with Baker's Creek Rare Seeds

Hi - I'm a seed collector (harvest and dry my own) but also have a ridiculous 'seed inventory' ... for my regular gardens (perennials: favouring birds, butterflies and pollinators) ... all sorts of native flowers, etc.; plus, I have an extensive Kitchen Garden, and an indoor grow room. I also focus a lot on heirlooms (and love to grow dwarf tomatoes indoors).

I agree, these are excellent:

Baker Creek
Rareseeds.com

Botanical Interests
botanicalinterests.com

Renee's Garden
Reneesgarden.com

They are all reputable sources. I have also purchased through (I will only list companies with whom I have done repeat orders) ...

Mary's Heirloom Seeds:

Forgotten Heirlooms:

MIgardener

Annie's Heirloom Seeds:

Seed Savers Exchange Heirloom Seeds (yes, I'm a member):
https://www.seedsavers.org

Victory Seeds:
https://www.victoryseeds.com/

And for some of the harder to find heirloom perennial flowers as well as herbs, I have also had great success with:

Swallowtail Garden Seeds
https://www.swallowtailgardens...

I have purchased through Park's, but more for supplies than seeds. (Love their Biodomes for seed starting, they can be used over and over.)

And I am addicted to heirloom and specialty tomatoes (last year I planted 64 different varieties... in zone 3, no less). So, particularly for tomatoes / dwarf tomatoes:

Renaissance Farms
https://renaissancefarms.org/

TomatoFest ®
https://www.tomatofest.com/

All of the above are reputable seed companies. I have had excellent success with their seeds.

Hope this is of interest. Good luck with your seeds!

I also have had great experiences ordering tomatoes from Renaissance Farms and Tomatofest. Always a great variety and good germination. Curtis @ Renaissance has an amazing selection of micro dwarf and dwarf tomatoes. I always love trying something new from there.

He spoke a couple of years ago at our master gardeners Seed Swap. He's a very engaging speaker, too.

Thank you so much @adknative
Such a wealth of information!

I have purchased seed from many of the above sites and more as well. These are a few of them.

In all these years, I don't ever recall being scammed by the legit seed companies. Now on ebay seed purchases....

Same here. And so far I haven't made any purchases on Ebay.

I just purchased a whole bunch of coleus seeds from swallow tail garden seeds Their website doesn't have any kind of login or even reviews. Their website came up as secure though through the 'Brave' browser. Can't wait to get started on some baby coleus. Haven't grown them in years.

High Mowing is also a good source

I used to by from Seeds for Change, but every now and then, we'd get a bad batch. My family decided to start harvesting our own organic seed (grown in organic soil) last fall. We just started an Etsy site and will be adding new items within the next few weeks! It truly is hard to find reliable strong seed!
