After following up with the company and providing my feedback the comany stood behind their product and resolved the issue so at this point I no longer have an issue with Wayside Garden or Park SeedsI received the two cheer drop trees for $29.95 each and$19.00 shipping for a total of 77.54 and wow was I surprised. These trees look like a very very small Christmas dinner table decoration. I emailed the company and followed up with a phone call before ordering and they responded by saying the plant height was 18" -24" high. The plants I got were seven inches high, these so call tree could fit in a coffee cup, I took a picture of a coffee cup next to the tree so folks could see the size comparison. confirm your order details from this company, The website says Wayside Gardens, but the phone message states Park seeds.I read a couple of reviews but did not read enough and after receiving the email and speaking to customer service rep I thought it should be fine. These are not what you see at a Walmart or home center store or what I expected, but the company made things right after a few emails, and stated they were working on improving the order process.
I ordered seed from park seeds as they received great reviews on the gardening sites I was looking at. I ordered $50.00 worth of seeds, which was pricey, but you get what you pay for, right? Wrong! I planted my cold weather seeds in a raised bed garden soil temp high 50's and I have a cold frame, I'm in zone 7. At best I had a 15% germination so I tried indoor starts with the same results. I have concluded that Park Seed Company is either incompetent or a scam. I need to replant my entire garden and have lost a month thanks to them. My advice buy Burpee and avoid these guys.
I recently placed an order with Park Seed for 2 packs of seeds. They wanted to charge me what they called an upcharge fee of $20 in addition to regular shipping charges and the total of order came to $35 for just two packs of seeds. I do realize shipping is more because I live in Alaska. I have ordered online from numerous companies including seed companies and I have never even heard of an upcharge fee. Why do they have to over charge people in Alaska? The last I heard we are still part of the USA.
Timely first class mail delivery. I ordered 3 times from Park Seed, all seed orders, and I'm pretty satisfied. No problem with seed germination if used within the same year. The celosia and marigold varieties had excellent and fast germination, close to 100%. There are other varieties of flower seeds I planted the following year but they did not do well. I did not refrigerate them so maybe that's why. They have a good selection of dwarf varieties for my tiny garden space. Prices have gone up, and quantity of seeds per packet reduced. This motivates me to shop for cheaper seeds at the big box home improvement stores. Would be nice if Park Seed offer $2.99 flat rate shipping all the time for seed purchases. Their pricey shipping rates have had prevented my purchases in the past. They are still my favorite place to shop for hard-to-find varieties of flowers seeds. Great info on growing on both their website and catalogs.
Living in Florida I like to plant flower displays for the Holidays. With that in mind, part of my seed order with Parks included seed for Burgundy Star Easy Wave petunias. Beautiful plants and set out December 2nd, and a week and a half later they started blooming. All of the seed packs must have been mislabeled as they were all purple and NOT the red and white star, thus ruining my display for Christmas.. After two e-mails to PArks not a word from them about this issue. I am sure they had to be aware of the problem long before now as most gardeners would have planted their seeds many months ago, and would have reported this by now. Parks certainly does not stand behind their true to type seed guarantee.
Horrible germination, equally bad service. When I asked for suggestions on what might be wrong they said I bought seed in Nov so they are not able to replace or reimburse me. Guess I should plant in December in Massachusetts? Offered me no advice on what might be wrong. Stay away from this company.
i ordered zinnia and cosmo seeds. about half the cosmo seeds greminated. of the half that germinated they bloomed at 4 inches tall. their website is so unhelpful they might as well not have one at all. you cant reach them by phone(always closed) the machine tell you to go to their website.. i went to the web site cant ask a question on live chat or contact us. does anyone know if i should snip the flowers off so they would continue to grow??
I ordered quite a few different types of seeds, and they are very slow to germinate, if at all. I have planted seeds 3 times to get 2 cucumber plants to come up. I emailed customer service 2 weeks ago to ask whether this particular kind (Parisian Gherkin) is difficult to germinate and if they had any advice, I'm still waiting to hear. Order was delayed when I first got it, but I didn't mind too much as I ordered in February. Will not order from Parks again. What a waste of time and money.
Don’t do it.. I recently ordered a mid day onion pack from park seed. Paid for 2 day shipping and took 2.5 weeks to arrive. It wasn’t even 2day shipping by the time it was shipped. It was first class which took five days. It was a week into their shipping schedule for my region when I ordered. The worst part the order wasn’t even correct and 1/3 wasn’t useable and missing a variety that was supposed to be in the pack. Really just a decaying mushy mess in a box. They filter their reviews (which kinda says it all) also that’s why I am here. Customer service is also ridiculous. Save your money. Maybe they will rectify the problem, but so far no response at all.
