The cardboard box from Botanical interests is intentionally meant to be composed back into the garden when ordering from them. Kevin from Epic gardening has said something like this is the past after him buying the company Botanical interests! 😊👍 Not a waste when it comes to comparison to a yellow packet with bubble wrap.
I am missing my salvia from my order on MiGardener , you would not believe how hard it is to get my packet. They did send a free packet of seeds . Yes MiGardener sometimes sends nothing free. I love your picks of seeds ! I’m going to write down some of your seeds. Great video

I mostly order from my local seed company, Southern Exposure Seed Exchange. They do their own trials and are located 10 min from me! They're a bit slower with the shipping but that's ok with me. Also highly recommend Renee's Garden -- very useful info on the packets (similar to BE).
Nice haul…Pls do not disrespect the cardboard box fr BI. Thou shalt not dishonor my seed storage game😂. I store my seeds in those boxes: I’ve got separate boxes for different types: flowers (by season) and veggies. That said, I am over the free mesclun mix of lettuce
I guess I understand that, but I truly feel like everyone can find a cardboard box and I wish there was an option to not have that and save on shipping instead.
@ And that’s one of the cardboard boxes people can find to use, already decorated for it and all that. :) They offer free shipping at certain levels and often with coupon codes, I doubt we’d get more of that without the box, other seed companies do exactly the same whether shipping in boxes or envelopes. Maybe it’s that I’ve gotten seeds in all kinds of packaging from different companies, that what surprised me most was your reaction. I get it if people who know they don’t need it/won’t use it and think it wasteful wish they could opt out, that’s a point well taken, but otherwise don’t get what the big deal is, sorry. I share seeds at work and with friends, collect and pack my own or remainders I know I won’t use, and that’s one use I’ve given those boxes. There’s one that’s been the seed sharing box at work for years and needs replacing-thanks for the reminder!
@ my shipping was $6. That’s a little ridiculous tbh for seed packets and the only reason it’s that expensive is the box. A lot of seed companies have cheaper prices and offer free shipping no minimum. Additionally I’ve ordered from a ton of seed companies too and only one other that I’ve used ships in boxes and has high shipping just like this ( Johnny's but they are also geared toward production growers and have more seeds in their packets so it makes sense). There's another company I order from that has high shipping and no box (swallowtail) but I think that's because they are more specialty seeds, that's how I justify it lol. If the box was eliminated they could offer free shipping all the time probably or at least at lower levels, a lot of companies do this and I don't think my reaction was wrong to point out an opportunity to save costs that can be passed on to the customer. Sorry if it came off too harsh.
I post a lot of seed hauls on my channel. Love Baker Creek and I also buy seeds in bulk. ❤ There's always something different and I love that! Your room of plants looks awesome!
I looovvveee wave petunias. I'm a pretty big fan of PW, but for petunias, I grow my own and their performance is crazy. I shop at all of your places. I also really love swallowtail, pinetree and urban farmer.
Swallowtail is actually the shop I still have cart to check out! I ordered a ton from Pinetree last year too never heard of Urban Farmer but now I gotta check them out!
Yes! A cardboard box 📦 is ridiculous. I’m lucky I live less than 30 minutes from seedsavers exchange, so I shop them, I shop Renee’s seeds locally at the grocery store (40% off there). Finally Baker Creek seeds. Thank you for sharing.
Right?! Ooo I purchased Renee’s from a local garden center too and loved their seed packets! I’ve never tried seedsavers exchange I’ll have to check them out!

I like the box because I’ve had envelopes come looking like they were mauled by rabid chihuahuas

I kind of agree. Everyone gives free lettuce seeds. Change it up! lol I guess lettuce seeds are really cheap
I think the idea is you can use the box to store theirs and other seed packets.

I haven’t ordered seeds but this was so helpful as I was loading my carts from botanical interests and bakers creek. So thank you!!
You can keep all your seeds neatly organized.
Yes i keep the seeds organized.
Botanical Interest sets themselves apart with the useful info in the packets.
Their seed packets are truly one of the best! I LOVE the picture of the seedling on the back. Super helpful in spotting volunteers in the garden :)
I went to Baker Creek for their fall festival this month and came back with a bunch of seeds for next year. I have a seed problem!

I bought some seeds from dollar store that I never used
I don’t have the patience 😂
You are inspiring me😂😂

My sister grows broom corn and crafts brooms for Halloween decorations. The stalks are very sturdy. They are great for making a trellis.
Ooooo that sounds neat!
