Deebie recommended Gardino Nursery and wrote:

I ordered 3 plants from them in 11/2015. One plant had dying leaf tips, but I wasn't too worried about it at first and tried to give it some TLC. Two days later, I decided to send an email and later a picture of it and received immediate response. They said that the plant, Medinilla myriantha, was a little difficult to ship. Nevertheless, I was sent a replacement, with a bonus bloom spike, within a week. Great online nursery with good customer service and a great selection of plants. I will order from them again.

DavidLMO recommended Seedaholic and wrote:

Seedaholic includes the best descriptive and growing information for seeds of ANY company I have ever dealt with. And that is hundreds. The information is thorough. And when a hint is needed - she adds it. Some trick needed for germination? She tells you. And customer service is superb. Highly suggest you check them out.

Just received my order from Seedaholic, located in Ireland. Seeds were shipped fast and arrived in perfect shape. The beautiful information cards stapled to each seed package were a wonderful surprise. Wonderful description and picture of the plant, growing conditions, and plant size on the front. Sowing instructions, transplanting and cultivation directions on the back. My order was placed December 7, 2015 and was on my doorstep December 16, 2015. Will be ordering again from this company. Postage from Ireland was 9.78. Thank you, Seedaholic, for a fabulous order.

LynneHTx recommended Buchanan's Native Plants and wrote:

Buchanan's has a great selection. Great gift shop. They carry vegetables, fruit trees, landscape plants and natives. Orchids are in the bungalow. If you make it this way, combine a visit to Buchanan's with a stop at Joshua's (mostly natives), Another Place in Time, and Zone 9 Tropicals (if tropicals are of interest to you). All 4 nurseries are within a mile of each other in the Heights.

CountryGardens recommended Jordan Seeds, Inc. and wrote:

This is a very good company for people buying large amounts of seeds. Most are what you would call bulk quantities. Prices are very reasonable. Large selection of varieties. Also sell supplies of all kinds. Vegetable machinery such as mulch layers, planters of all kinds, hand and tractor powered. I have bought from them for over 30 years.

CountryGardens recommended Stokes Seeds Ltd and wrote:

I have bought from Stokes for years. Last year tried a pickling cucumber called Puccini. Needs to be isolated, but is fantastic. Produced for a long time. Other purchases over the years have always been decent. They have lots of varieties that can't be found other places.

DavidLMO recommended Seedman.com and wrote:

I have ordered from them a couple of times and been quite pleased. They have a very extensive selection of seeds - some hard to find. They have an ongoing special that many may not be aware of. I wasn't and found it by accident. 95 cent packages. Smaller in size but enough for most. Not every seed known to mankind, but enough to make it worth your time to check it out at least for value.
