Chiltern Seeds Reviews

I started using Chiltern only from feb 21. I absolutely love it. The selection is great and exquisite at times. The description and classification is clear. Number of seeds in a packet is stated clearly on the page, and i should say the quantities are very good: i am working on a huge garden from blank sheet, and find sometimes that i have too many seedlings. Germination is fantastic in most cases, unless it takes longer; some seeds are harder to germinate through their nature. I dont normally sow to compost though, i use a clear lidded plastic box and wet kitchen towels.
Shipping rates and prices are very fair. Packaging is eco friendly.

I made my order on December 1 2020. Due to new customs rules or something else I haven't got my order. Neither I've got a refund which was promised to me several times by email. Very disappointed especially because the sum wasn't big. Never met a client service like this.

I have ordered seeds from Chiltern seeds and not only do I appreciate the variety and quality of the seeds I am also grateful for their wonderful customer service. I had some problems with potting on my seedlings and they were very helpful, knowledgeable and prompt in answering my questions. They helped this new and nervous gardener and I cannot praise them highly enough.

I have used Chiltern Seeds for years. Lovely seeds with seriously good germination, really good reliable company. Today they have totally surpassed themselves. Last weekend I sowed my courgettes cucumbers and squash, on Wednesday the mice had had a dinner party and not a seed remained. I ordered replacement seed there and then, not expecting it for at least 10 days - it arrived this lunchtime - Friday! Seeds all replanted and covered this time. What an amazing company.

Most of the seeds I purchase from Chiltern fail to germinate. Tbf they are exotic species (no point ordering easy to find seeds). But despite being green fingered and following all advice they just fail to germinate. I shall give them the benefit of the doubt that their run of the mill seeds germinate but the more exotic ones? Steer clear.

I ordered a fair few veg and flower seeds and they arrived after the 14 day period that they said would happen but on opening the onion seed packet saw there were no more than a dozen seeds in packet and same with Brocali about 20 seeds . Very disappointed and won’t be ordering again. Flower seeds not checked but it looks like same . Will be going back to Kings far better

This was my first time ordering seeds from Chiltern and regretably my last. A protracted delay in sending the seeds and despite what they say the number of seeds in one packet was not stated on the website. I was disappointed to find very few seeds in the packet. Poor communication. Over two weeks to dispatch 5 packets of seeds. I know this is stated in their terms but seriously. Good job I wasn't having a heart attack

Without asking me about marketing permissions Chiltern Seeds thought it wise to send me a printed brochure in the post. I didn't ask for it, I didn't want it, they didn't have my permission to send it, and it is nothing but a waste of paper, energy and resources.
GDPR and privacy obviously mean nothing to this company.

If ever a catalogue made you want to buy -it’s the latest Chiltern Seeds Catalogue. Stunning pictures showing a cross section of their extensive range. I try to buy some “unusual” seeds each year and Chiltern Seeds do not disappoint. Good sowing instructions a reliable germination can’t ask for more!

The first place I go to for seed. Prices are great, selections are fantastic! Service is wonderful.

I was to be honest quite in dispare about ordering from UK Store now there have been Brexit but however I have so many good ecxperiences with Chilitern seeds and half my perrenials in my garden originate from Chilitern seeds so I made the order and I was not disappointed so thank you, hope fore many more good deals ☺️
Best regards Nete Denmark

I have an open order with this company. It is overdue and I have now chased it twice by e-mail and they just won't respond. Shows how much (or little in this case) they appreciate their customers.
