Their Dahlia tubers are hearty enough for me to replant year after year https://hudsonvalleyseed.com and Pinetree Garden Seeds & Accessories in ME http://www.superseeds.com, they also sell some fabulous teas like lemon ginger and Elderberry Echinacea. Both offer organic seeds and lots of great advice. Pricing is fair and quality is outstanding!

I enjoyed reading through it and learning about several companies I had never heard of before; most of the companies in various parts of Europe (except the UK), I had no idea about. Thank you. Two suggestions that you have not mentioned that you might be interested in: Hudson Valley Seed co. (NY) – their artist series of seed packs; seed pack contains a beautiful illustration (from local and/or other artist in various mediums), detailed description for seed sowing and history, lore, etc. and info on the inspiration behind the art on the seed packet). These seed packets are out of this world; beautiful, informative, unique. Second suggestion: The Seed Company (originally, Gaze Seed) in St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada; they have wonderful flower, veg, and herb seed for backyard gardeners and/or market gardeners esp. in northern climates with short seasons; there are also seed mixes for flower meadows; seed mixes for “Jig’s Dinner” (i.e. a NL food staple that features root vegetables that grow well on the island of Newfoundland – seed for turnip, cabbage, carrot; Sunday Jig’s dinner in this province features corn beef and/or fish with root vegetables that grow well in this part of Eastern Canada). Thanks Erin and Floret Team.
