| Positive | ivan_dg Belgrade Serbia (1 review) October 01, 2009 | I ordered 100 seeds of philodendron selloum from Hazzard's Greenhouse and after one week half of them germinated. I've been trying to germinate these seeds from other vendors several times, but had no success at all. |
| Positive | davis1676 Disputanta, VA (Zone 7a) (20 reviews) August 08, 2009 | I recently received a huge order of plants. The prices were super, the plants were large & healthy & communication was great! Will definitely do business with them again. thanks |
| Positive | WNYwillieB Buffalo, NY (Zone 6a) (3 reviews) March 03, 2009 | Ordered 11 different seed packs through Hazzard's Wholesale Seeds website in early January 2009.
Seeds arrived pronto.
Immediately started a germination rate test on a small handful of each type of seed. VERY good germination rate on everything after one week but the heliotrope.
However! after the heliotrope hadn't sprouted by Feb. 22 (though they can take up to three months?) I started some more folded in a damp paper towel inside a ziplock baggie. Within 4 days there was germination!
Sometimes things simply want to be started just so, I guess!
Will order again. |
| Positive | zubababy West Jordan, UT (8 reviews) March 02, 2009 | I have just placed my third seed order with this company. I love the selection and quantity of the seeds that they have. I have received my seeds quickly, and packed well. I have very good germination rates with their seeds. Thank you! |
| Positive | bromefreak (JOE) Chicago, IL (Zone 5a) (5 reviews) February 23, 2009 | Ordered a few seed orders from them prices are great shipping is fast and germination is FANTASTIC. If you are looking for seeds this IS IT. |
| Positive | ROSES_R_RED Mount Bethel, PA (Zone 6a) (1 review) September 12, 2008 | I ordered 48 delosperma cooperi (ice plants) at a price so low that I couldn't believe the wonderful size and condition of the plants.
These people are so wonderful to deal with. |
| Positive | Kamikid Thomasville, GA (Zone 8a) (5 reviews) August 14, 2008 | I ordered several plants from this company on Aug. 4, my payment was accepted on Aug. 8 and today I received my plants. They were beautifully packed, fresh looking and ready to put into pots or the ground. There were notes on the packing label answering questions I had asked. I would order again from this company without hesitation. Elaine |
| Positive | avianut Omaha, NE (Zone 5a) (4 reviews) July 31, 2008 | I've ordered twice from this company, and I will continue to do so! The first time I just ordered seeds, a safe purchase, which came quickly and germinated well. The second time I took advantage of a temporary free shipping offer they had and ordered over $100. of plants. This was a LOT of plants, as they were very inexpensive and I wasn't expecting much, but they all are nice sized and very healthy, despite the 90 degree weather we were having when they were shipped! These folks are obviously proud of their product, and it shows in the quality and care taken of even the most inexpensive annual! A great place to do business! |
| Positive | go_cats Wilmette, IL (7 reviews) July 16, 2008 | I just received my first order from Hazzard's Greenhouse. I had a question about the identification of one of the plants, and Joyce responded to my email within an hour (and in the evening, outside of regular business hours). The terrific customer service and very reasonable prices will make me a repeat customer. |
| Positive | hilomark Homer, NY (Zone 5a) (6 reviews) May 06, 2008 | I placed my first order with Hazzard's this spring. I was so impressed that I ended up placing a second order! I found their prices very fair, shipping was quick, I had speedy and good germination, and the resulting plants have been of excellent quality. If you want to grow a larger quantity of a particular plant than is usually provided in a retail seed package, I would highly recommend that you consider Hazzard's.

| Positive | jojoringer Joey in Conroe, TX (Zone 8b) (4 reviews) April 26, 2008 | I just placed my second seed order with Hazzerd. The first came at sonic speed and was better then expected. On placing my second order I made a mistake when placing the order, resulting on multiple charges to my card. Joyce handled my mistake herself and was very nice about it, even on a Saturday! You just don't see this kind of customer service much now days. I am impressed and will be placing many orders in the future! |
| Positive | suzieq2761 Lambertville, NJ (Zone 6a) (1 review) January 11, 2008 | I just receive my first order from Hazzard's. They are wonderful people to deal with. Very quick shipping and everything well packaged. Very quick to answer questions. |
| Positive | mattsmom Tomah, WI (15 reviews) September 15, 2007 | Joyce is wonderful! I recieved my third order from her this week & was missing a plant. I emailed her, she responded almost imediately, apologized sincerely, & promised the missing plant would go out right away. Well, sure enough it arrived along with a very nice gift. Hazzard's prices and quality are great. Communication is
top notch. Packaging is always done with great care. I absolutely love this vendor! |
| Positive | dianegravel Campton, NH (1 review) July 28, 2007 | This company is superb!!! I ordered 5 digitalis (Foxglove), Giant Shirley, on July 22. By July 27, they were in my mailbox. I've ordered many plants by mail, but these were, by far, the most impressive. Amazing!!! All plants were beautifully packaged, larger than expected, and *very* healthy, not a single spot or blemish on the leaves.
I would DEFINITELY order from them again! |
| Positive | grampapa Wheatfield, NY (Zone 6a) (8 reviews) April 28, 2007 | I ordered some very inexpensive sale plants from Joyce's fall sale last year; some herbs that I overwintered in the house for my herb garden, some house plants, some perennials. I don't know yet about the perennials, but I got much more than my money's worth on the house plants and herbs. So even if none of the perennials survived the winter, I am ahead of the game. I will definitely order again. And I will be looking at seeds also. |
| Positive | starlight1153 Seale, AL (Zone 8b) (15 reviews) March 11, 2007 | I love this company!!!!!!!!!!! I have gotten alot of seed and even made some mistakes on my orders, and Joyce has gone through and corrected them for me making sure I got the right stuff.
I have always had excellent germination from the seeds and soon am going to be buying some plants from them.

(Zone 4a) (6 reviews) August 23, 2006 | All of the orders I have placed with Joyce Hazzard's
Greenhouse have produced exceptional plants.
Joyce gives attention to each order.
She has a sale on now, and the plants I received
this morning are the 2 year size.
The packing was immaculate. |
| Positive | sunnyleo West Baldwin, ME (Zone 5b) (1 review) July 14, 2006 | I found Hazzards on a computer link, ordered on-line and was amazed how quickly my order arrived. The plants were well packed and very healthy! A+ and a nice personal handwritten note on the invoice. I plan to use this company in the future! |
| Positive | falloons Sullivan, MO (1 review) May 03, 2006 | After reading the last post on Hazzard's seeds I had to add my two cents worth. This winter I ordered 100 coleus seeds and 500 impatients. I had MORE than that germinate on both types of seeds. The plants are the hardiest I have raised. I will use Hazzard's again. |
| Neutral | tobee43 a sub zone 4A in a 6A, NJ (Zone 4a) (34 reviews) May 02, 2006 | i purchased 4 packages of seeds from this company. since i have a small greenhouse i'm able to start my seeds in april.
i started hazzard's seeds the exact same time as others with the same germination period. the other seeds from other company's germinated at an approx rate of 98%. those 98% from other companys have moved into nice 3 inch pots and are doing extremely well. however, the carex seeds i puchased from hazzard's were a germination rate of less than 1%. that is 1% of 500 seeds! i think actually it's less than 1% since approx only 3 or 4 of the total of 500 seeds germinated. i'd say that is about as poor as it can get!
in fairness, the other two packages are morning glory which i have not planted as yet. but i'm an extremely disappointed in hazzard's seed's germination rate. i would have paid less for two or three actual plants than to go through all the trouble of planting and sowing 500 seeds for a mere 3-4 weak seedlings, which at this point may not even make it.
never again for me! On May 18th, 2006, tobee43 changed the rating from negative to neutral and added the following:
i'm needing to change my rating as the other seeds all came up....so it's half did and half did nothing. maybe i just got a bad batch of carex...i'm not sure. but the moring glories are all over the place. so in fairness to hazzards i'm still not pleased but i'm not totally disappointed. |
| Positive | carrielamont Milton, MA (Zone 6a) (19 reviews) November 11, 2005 | Lovely selection of many of my favorites, and unbelievably low prices! I placed a big order - I'll follow up when it arrives! On November 17th, 2005, carrielamont added the following:
My plants arrived, and I needn't have worried. They were lovingly packed in shredded newspaper (just when I needed it for another project!), and carefully labelled, most including identifying tags. Most had great root systems which, I hope, will enable them to withstand the cold and snow to come. (We live near Boston!) I know I was crazy to order perennials in November, and to allow her to ship them USPS instead of something faster. Still, they seem like they might have a good chance. On May 29th, 2006, carrielamont added the following:
Wow! The 1/2 price forget-me-nots 'slept' all winter (from 11/05) and are now 'creeping' to make a beautiful border. I'm ordering more this week. |
| Positive | purpleice Bridgman, MI (Zone 5a) (20 reviews) November 10, 2005 | I ordered 8 Malvas and 2 Phlox from Joyce at half price and they arrived today in perfect condition. I'm very impressed and can't wait until spring to order again from her. The plants are good sized and healthy. She sent 3 bearded Iris' as a gift and included a handwritten note of appreciation. Thank you Joyce for a job well done and I promise to take good care of your plants. |
| Positive | bblack506 Harrisonburg, VA (1 review) November 04, 2005 | What a pleasant experience! I have receieved my first order and I do believe that my entire garden will eventually come from Joyce. What an incredible, kind, passionate, caring and knowledgeable grower, of not only glorious, healthy plants, but of souls and spirits as well. My carefully packaged plants arrived with an aura of peace and well being. All healthy and full of promise. She even included a gift perennial! Ordering just before winter was scary, but Joyce wrote detailed planting and wintering notes so I'd know how to care for the plants over the winter. I'll be back, Joyce and I WILL send those pictures next year! |
| Positive | Frostette Wichita, KS (12 reviews) September 13, 2004 | What a wonderful nursery to deal with!!! She made me feel like I was receiving plants from a close friend. Correspondence was quick, friendly, and informative. I got in on the half-price specials this month and received beautiful perennials packaged so well it makes me wonder why other mail order nurseries can't do the same. And she even placed a free gift of a beautiful pink Geranium (which she didn't know but I really love these plants!) in the box. On September 30th, 2004, Frostette added the following:
I ordered again and make no mistake.....she's consistently good! Beautiful plants, nicely packaged. On July 25th, 2005, Frostette added the following:
This year I ordered a 'flat of Snapdragons'. Once again it came beautifully carefully boxed, perfect condition - more perfect than going to the local nursery and picking out plants! Since it was already the middle of the summer, they were nice sized, flowered plants. Amazing. And she only sends them special delivery ('sign for' type USPS) so they get here quickly. I decided to go ahead and order another flat....(Impatiens this time) since everything is on sale. On May 30th, 2006, Frostette added the following:
Apparently when you order too early, the plants are sent VERY tiny. This is my first year ordering at the beginning of the season and I was in for quite a shock. A bundle of EIGHT plants equals one from a local nursery...so I would rather have just bought them locally but I had gotten such a good deal last fall and beautiful flowers. They are so tiny I had a hard time planting them and fear they won't make it , but we'll see! They are very healthy as always, just way too small to work with easily. I will wait until end of season from now on to order. |
| Positive | GardenHoe67 Bronx, NY (Zone 6b) (7 reviews) May 30, 2004 | I purchased BloomMaster Planters and selected certain annuals mainly cascading ones to fill them. The annuals that I selected to use I could only find in 4 or 6 inch pots for around $3 to $5 dollars each and since I needed 40 that would have been expensive. I came across Hazzards Greenhouse from a link on BloomMaster.com and found all the annuals I selected to use. My experience with Joyce Hazzard was excellent. She answered my emails quickly her prices are reasonable and the plants arrived healthy and packed with care. I will be using Hazzards Greenhouse annually for my annuals. Thanks Joyce. |
| Positive | art_n_garden Colorado Springs, CO (Zone 6a) (7 reviews) January 01, 2004 | I have ordered twice from this company this year, both times in the middle of winter. The plants arrived in excellent condition despite the cold trip in the mail. The postage was low and the plants were half price! The owner is a wonderfully nice woman who had very good communication with me through email when something I ordered was out of stock. All of the plants I have ordered have grown and done very well. I'll continue to be their customer come warmer weather! |
