Plant Supplier Review - Botanical Interests

Company Background

Botanical interests has been around for over a quarter century. Starting as a home grown business operating out of their home, Botanical Interests has grown into a household name for gardeners and plant enthusiasts alike.

While the company now offers various product lines, they still specialize in what they started with, plant seeds; predominantly vegetables, herbs, and flowers. Most of their seed packets are either organic or heirloom seeds!

In addition to offering high-quality seeds, the company has expanded its product line to include things such as widgers - excellent to have when it’s time to transplant your seedlings and complete seed starting kits - a must have kit when growing plants from seed to transplant outside!

Quality

Botanical Interests’ product quality is very high. The seeds they provide have extremely high viability and high germination rates are common. It is clear that the quality of seed produced and sold through their brand name is of high value - a rarity in the plant world as many seed vendors sell suboptimal seed. The variety of seeds sold under the Botanical Interests brand name is quite varied and should suit the needs of most botanists. Specifically, those interested in growing vegetables and herbs.

In addition to vegetables and herbs, Botanical Interests offers a host of flower and other non-crop seeds that are sure to peak the interest of avid plant growers.

Variety

With several hundred varieties of seeds available as well as a host of other plant related items on offer, Botanical Interests’ variety is impressive. While they do not offer as much variety as some other brands, being mainly a seed company, the fact that they offer additional products is a clear positive of the brand. From plant related calendars to gardening tools and supplies, the options available from Botanical Interests are unmatched by most other seed selling companies. 

In addition to the surplus of supplies and seeds they offer, Botanical Interests also offers a wealth of different articles and informational webpages to help you grow plants in your garden as effectively as possible. It’s nice that the company helps you in your gardening pursuits by offering quality seeds and products, as well as providing helpful information as to how to grow your plants as optimally as possible. In this way, Botanical Interests is more of a ‘all-inclusive, one-stop-shop’ company rather than just a company that sells one kind of gardening product.

Reliability

Overall, the products offered by Botanical Interests are of high-quality and are reliable throughout the intended lifespan of the product. Seeds offered by Botanical Interests are high-quality and have high germination rates, garden tools and accessories are of good quality, and the information provided in the articles is sound and helpful. Overall, Botanical Interests offer high-quality products that will serve you well in your gardening pursuits. They ensure you are covered from seed to crop and every step in-between!

Cost

While costs do vary compared to other companies, in general, Botanical Interests offers their products at reasonable prices. Their seed prices are very similar to many other high-quality seed vendors such as Garden Hoard, Grow Organic, and Siskiyou Seeds. In terms of their other offerings such as raised beds and edible seed sprouting kits, they can be a bit more expensive than other brands.

While this might seem like a negative aspect, the price is warranted because their products are higher quality than cheaper options from the competition. Like the saying goes, you get what you pay for and you have to pay for quality! With that said, their prices are not so high as to make their products unreasonable.
