Hudson Valley Seed Reviews

I really did want to give this shop a fair chance, but the shipping took way longer than it should have. I get that delays happen, and I’m not trying to be unreasonable, but I was left waiting without much clear information about what was going on. The seeds might be perfectly fine, but by the time they finally showed up, the whole experience had already been frustrating for me...

I bought these thinking they’d make a nice little gift, but the presentation was underwhelming. To be fair, the seeds themselves may be perfectly fine, so I don’t want to judge the actual product too harshly. But as a gift, the packaging felt very basic and didn’t have much of a personal or special touch. For the price, I expected it to look a bit nicer when opened. I’d probably buy something else next time if I was sending a gift.

I did like the seed selection, and the packets are nice-looking too. But the price felt a bit high for what I ended up getting, especially once shipping was added on. Nothing bad about the order or anything, it just didn’t feel like the best deal compared to a few other seed shops I’ve used

I was just trying to order some seeds, which should’ve been the easiest thing in the world, but wow, the website made it feel like a full-blown quest. Pages were loading so slowly I swear I aged a little between clicks, and the menu on my phone was all over the place. I kept having to go back just to find basic things, and after a while I was completely done. I gave up before even checking out. Definitely not the smooth shopping experience I was hoping for.

I expected more variety from hudsonvalleyseed.com, especially when it came to veggies and herbs. There were a few interesting options, but a lot of what I wanted either wasn’t there or felt limited. Trying to put together a full garden order and still having to go shop somewhere else was kind of ridiculous. It’s not a bad site, but the selection just wasn’t enough for me.

I’ll be honest, part of the reason I ordered these was because the seed packets looked really artsy online. When they arrived, though, the artwork just wasn’t for me. Some of it looked a bit messy, and on a few packets it was hard to tell what the plant was supposed to be.

I get that the seeds matter most, and I’m not trying to be harsh, but if you’re charging a little more and showing off the packaging, it’s only fair for it to look nice in person too. I was hoping for something I’d want to keep or reuse, but it ended up being a letdown, so I probably won’t order again...

I’ve had good luck with similar products in the past, but this one just wasn’t a great fit for my growing zone. It might work better in a different region, but for me it didn’t really perform the way I’d hoped

I was kind of in a rush when I opened the mail, but right away I noticed the packaging was bent up. The envelope was really flimsy, and the seeds inside ended up getting crushed. Disappointing

I planted two packs this spring and barely got anything out of them. Only a few seeds came up, and even those stayed weak and never really took off. The frustrating part is that the same garden bed grew other seeds just fine, so I don’t think it was the soil or conditions. I’m disappointed and feel like this is something the company should look into or make right

I was checking for heirloom seeds, but most of the ones I actually wanted were out of stock. It was frustrating, and felt like I spent more time searching than anything else... I just expected them to have better availability.

Am I missing something, or is customer service supposed to actually help with your order? I reached out and never really got any support, which was frustrating.

The seeds arrived in good shape, so no issue there. I kind of assumed the instructions would follow the usual beginner-friendly pattern with spacing, timing, and a few extra tips, but they were basic. I was able to figure it out, just would’ve appreciated a bit more detail for someone new to planting.

I planted these hoping for a decent batch, but most of the seeds never even came up. I think I got maybe a few tiny sprouts at best. What a joke — definitely not what I expected.

The seeds themselves were fine, so no complaints there. But for me, the shipping cost felt way too high and made the whole purchase feel less worth it.

I planted the seeds and was hoping for a better turnout, but only a few actually came up. Not sure if it was the batch or something on my end, but yeah... a little disappointing

I reached out to support about a problem with my order, but the replies was not very clear and I still don’t have a real fix. It felt like I was kind of being ignored, and I ended up unhappy with the whole thing.

I opened my order and realized the seeds weren’t the ones I picked. Kind of frustrating because I was ready to get started, and then I had to stop and double-check the package and my order details. Anyway, the wrong stuff showed up.

I’m picky about seeds because I expect a decent germination rate, and these just didn’t seem fresh to me. Most of them barely sprouted, like they’d been sitting around for too long. Definitely not the quality I was hoping for.

I went on the site planning to place a proper order for a few seed packs, but most of the ones I was interested in were out of stock.

I spent a decent amount of time clicking around, hoping I’d find alternatives, but it was pretty much the same situation everywhere: unavailable, or no clear information on when they might be back.

The seeds themselves might be great, and I’m not saying otherwise, but I couldn’t even put together a decent order. It ended up being a bit frustrating, to be honest.

I was really hoping to find a better selection of organic seeds, but the options felt limited... kind of a letdown. I ended up looking around and buying from another shop instead...
