I love Botanical Interests! I have been purchasing their seeds for many, many years. Most have excellent germination; every once in a while some don't, but that's sort of the nature of the gardening... See more

From Tiny Garden Dreams to Backyard Abundance: Botanical Interests Made It Possible

When I planted my very first seeds from Botanical Interests, I had a single raised bed, a handful of hopes, and no idea how deeply gardening would root itself into my life. Fast-forward a few seasons, and my family is now growing a thriving backyard homestead—teeming with produce, pollinators, and possibility—all thanks to the reliability and beauty of Botanical Interests seeds.

What sets them apart? For starters, germination is consistently strong. I’ve tried other brands, but nothing has matched the vigor I’ve seen from Botanical Interests. Whether it’s heirloom tomatoes, tender salad greens, or flowers to feed the bees, every packet delivers not just seeds, but the promise of abundance.

The illustrated packets are more than charming—they’re incredibly informative. I’ve learned so much just by reading the back of a seed packet, from ideal sowing times to companion planting tips. As a busy homeschooling mom and homesteader, having clear, trustworthy guidance right at my fingertips has made all the difference.

With each season, I’ve expanded—more beds, more varieties, more confidence. From juicy cucumbers and vibrant rainbow chard to sweet peas that climb joyfully up homemade trellises, our family table reflects the joy of a garden grown with intention and love.

Botanical Interests didn’t just help me grow food—they helped me grow a lifestyle rooted in simplicity, beauty, and stewardship. What began as a small experiment has become a way of life.

If you’re looking for seeds you can count on—and a company that inspires you to keep digging deeper—this is the one. I’m so grateful I found Botanical Interests. My garden (and our family meals!) are all the richer for it.

Quality seeds, overall great experience

Used botanical interest seeds for the last few years and they consistently germinate well, the delivery experience is smooth, and they have an amazing variety. The recent Memorial Day sale also has me set up with enough seeds for next season. Also, the art is so unique! It's lovely to open up the box and see beautiful art.

Grow baby grow!!

I've been using botanical interest for a couple years now and they are a wonderful, fantastic seed company with a variety of fruits, vegetables, flowers, and all kinds of plants to grow! The seeds are super high quality. The plants usually turn out super healthy and happy and I love their YouTube channels! Plus the customer service is one of the best I've ever encountered ever.

I love ordering seeds from Botanical…

I love ordering seeds from Botanical Interests. They have a large variety of seeds for different climates and offer some organic seeds as well. The packaging is my favorite of all the seed companies that I order from. They have a ton of useful and specific information on when and how to plant that other seed companies don’t always provide. The botanical illustrations on each package are also lovely and add a nice touch. I’ve been buying from BI for years at different plant shops/nurseries around the country and recently online and will continue to do so for years to come.

I love BI seeds

I love BI seeds. Great germination rates, excellent information about sowing and growing included on the packets, beautiful artwork, and timely shipping. I’ve gradually grown nothing but Botanical Interests veggies in my garden and always have the best success.

Unmatched Quality

I started my gardening journey with Botanical Interests seeds and I've never looked back! I use their seeds exclusively and the quality is unmatched. Their germinations rates are excellent, and I always have strong seedlings. I've had such success with germination, that I had to stop sowing so many seeds of the same variety, because I was having no failures and ending up with too many plants. 100/10 would recommend.

I have been ordering through Botanical Interests...

I have been ordering through Botanical Interests for the past 3 years, and out of dozens of seed packets I have only ever had 1 fail germination out right (a packet of black swan poppy seeds). They packets are covered in detailed information about the variety, growth habits, # days till harvest, and planting suggestions. Botanical Interests even has a garden planner now, and it is so in-depth and helpful since I've expanded my front yard garden. I will continue to buy from them!

Website was easy to use

Checking out was easy. I order from them three times and shipping took about 7-10 days which isn’t too bad because I live on the northeast side of USA. I would have given them a 5/5 but had to deduct 1 point because a few packs didn’t germinate. But it could be user error because I am a newbie gardener.

Disappointing

I have been happily purchasing garden seeds primarily from Botanical Interests pretty much since the company’s inception and, over the last few years I experienced a notable increase in seed package price and shipping, while a significant decrease in package weight/quantity and seed quality, experiencing very poor germination rates and unproductive seedlings. Having to continually re-seed is not only costly and timely, but also ultimately unrealistic in my growing zone. I will no longer shop Botanical Interests.

Very misleading website..

Very misleading website... Hook me in by telling me I'm going to get free shipping. Let me spend 45 minutes figuring out what I wanted to buy. And then brought me to a page that the free shipping offer was not valid in Canada.

This is ridiculous, they know where I am by my IP address.

I'll never get that 45 minutes back.

Buyer beware.
