One of the Victoria's (Vancouver Island) garden centers has a good selection of Sarah Raven seeds(first time I have seen these)...... Some that are not easily to get here so, my question for people who have experience with them .....are these good quality seeds with high germination ratio?
We have few seed companies here that dominate the market and it is always the same old, same old.

Klahanie, I can't help you there re: her seeds...I've always bought her bulbs and never been disappointed. Very efficient service.

Same here. Its a fairly high quality setup so I reckon worth the risk. (although I did buy a small shrub a whle back which was very small and also imported which was not what I was expecting..)The tulip bulbs were excellent.

Thank you ladies for your comment. I was going to buy a fair amount as I do knot know if they are going to get any again for next year. Probably depends on how popular it will be. Personally, I am delighted to see something different from our regular "supply chain". Our climate is very different from rest of Canada and I like to see initiative of local nurseries to accommodate for that.

I bought Sarah Raven’s sweet pea seeds last year and they all germinated very well. I often buy her plug plants too… she is very reliable, and will replace plants without question if there is anything wrong.
Go for it Klahanie! X

Thank you Sheila for your reassurance. I like to hear that she has a good reputation.
Seed planting season is coming soon.

Sarah Raven is one of the "good guys" Klahanie.

Oh, thank you so much Thorneyside. Maybe I will mention that to the nursery when I make my order (if they don't already know).

I've had her seed before and I got a good germination rate with them all.
so yes go for them.
