Nichols Garden Nursery

Mail-ordered 5 pounds of elephant garlic. Prices were unbeatable (just over $11 a pound), so I was a little concerned, but the garlic arrived on time, packaged well, cloves were visually healthy and 99% huge (proper size for seed-saving, with just a couple duds that we'll eat or maybe plant for single-clove rounds), and I received just a hair over the 5 pounds I paid for. For those new to growing garlic, they included an informative guide for planting, tending, harvesting, and curing, and also a fun little pamphlet on the history of elephant garlic. Overall an extremely positive experience.

We live in NH and have bought seeds for many firms for decades, yet we get the majority of our seeds from Nichols because seed quantity per packet is generally greater, there is no plastic packaging and we can obtain a few Asian varieties we like from readily; they aren't sold out. Five stst for sure.

Extremely affordable seeds. Varieties bred by local breeders. Their seeds out perform all others in the Willamette Valley. I now grow closer to the coast and am still getting better results from their seeds than any others.

I have loved this store and nursery for 2 decades! Bulk garden seeds, herb plants, custom blended herbal teas are some my favorite things to buy here. I always take a few minutes to meander through their herb garden out back, it's always worth it!

I have occasionally ordered live plants from nurseries. I have been uniformly disappointed in the results. Most arrived half dead. This Spring I ordered two mints and a lemon grass from Nichols, and crossed my fingers. The plants arrived in excellent condition! They were in regular pots, moist, and looking great! Two are in the ground and doing better than locally bought plants. The other was delayed because "it wasn't big enough yet". It came in excellent condition and will soon be in a bigger pot.

I have ordered from Nichols since the late 70's I have always been extremely happy with their seeds.

I’m so luck to live close to Nichols. Best seed in the United States.

Lovr this place! Have been getting quality heirloom seeds from them for years!

Love this store. Amazing selection of seeds.

Great for seeds!

I farm in Virginia, but formerly in PWN. The catalog is great, and when I found them (online), had such informative seed info, good packaging, and I called when I had an issue. Got the owner who explained digital program still creaky, but thanks for pointing out connectivity issues. Went to Johnny's Maine, but am returning to Nichols to see if they compare. Great directions!
