Welcome to Borghese Gardens!
We have worked very hard to bring to you one of the largest collections of rare and unusual seeds
on the web today. We are committed to serving you, the customer, by continually improving our site and
scouring the globe in search of that elusive kernel. Below we have listed a few reasons that distinguish us
in the seed business.
OUR SEEDS.
Our seeds are very carefully selected and go through a rigorous set of
quality control and germination trials. Our seeds are purchased
from selected, well established and proven seed collectors from around the world.
OUR SELECTION OF SEEDS.
We go to great lengths to offer as wide a variety of seeds as can be found
anywhere. We are also very careful to select varieties that the average gardener
or house plant lover can grow. Also, we make sure that at least 95% of our
selections can be container grown. So no matter how cold it gets where you live,
you no longer have an excuse not to try our wonderful seeds.
OUR SEED PACKETS.
Our seed packets are probably the best in the business. In order to offer the
satisfaction guarantee we do, we have to make sure our seeds arrive safely.
We package our seeds in air-tight, waterproof, recloseable plastic zip-lock pouches.
This is not economical, in fact it is about the most expensive way of packaging seeds,
but the extremely high rate of success our customers have with our seeds seem to
make it abargain.
OUR SEED LABELS.
Again, no fancy labels or pictures (we figure you'll be seeing the real thing
soon enough) , instead we load our labels with helpful information. Information
such as Common Name, Botanical Name, the proper depth for planting the seed, the
proper soil for the plant, the height of the mature plant, amount of water needed,
amount of sunlight needed, classification as to perennial/annual, germination time
normally required, zone information (when available), and any special requirements
that may be needed to help the seeds germinate. We also tell you if this species can
be raised in containers inside in cold climates.
OUR SEED COUNT.
Why give a seed count for each variety? Some of the varieties we offer are very
expensive for us to purchase or they may be in short supply. In order for us to make
our packets available at a reasonable price to you, we sometimes have to send a small
number of seeds per packet. We feel that you should know up front what you are going
to receive, so we list our seed count in our catalogs.
OUR SATISFACTION GUARANTEE.
If a product is not good enough to have a satisfaction guarantee, it should not
be offered to the public, enough said. If you are unhappy with a packet of seeds
purchased from Borghese Gardens, simply write us and we will cheerfully replace the seeds.
