Default WOW, nice pack of seed

Just got a pack of seed I ordered off Amazon from Everwilde Farms. Now, there's a company that know how to make a nice looking seed packet Hope the seed is as good as the presentation!

Cecil, I went to their site and took a look at their heirloom and non heirloom varieties, just pictures of fruits, some errors, but I could find no pictures of actual seed packets.

Was it the look of the graphics on the seed packets that made such a good impression on you?

I have purchased from Everwilde directly for a few years now and they have outstanding germination rates and super generous with seed counts.

They ship quickly. All my seeds resulted in healthy plants. I love the foil packets.

Initially I bought Tomato seeds from them, but have purchased different types of Bok Choi, Lettuce, Basil, other herbs also. Prior to Everwilde, I use to purchase seeds from Park Seed and had to do a double take on seed counts. Example: Bok Choi at Park Seed would be 100 seeds and Everwilde would have 2000.

Carolyn - the packet looks like what is on the home page. It is thick foil with a zip-lock top that stays shut. It really is better than anything else I have seen.

They look like the home page cover and with a label pertaining to the variety on the front and the back.

Harris seeds are not pretty like that, but they use the good foil pouches that seal again and again. And seal well!

Carolyn: It's called a "Gold Vault Packet". As Barb says, it's resealable. It's sort of foil, gold, has full packet picture on front and back. Nice presentation.

3X longer storage? Hmmm...I wonder if their parsnip seed gets the Gold Vault?
