Germinating…

Returns & Refund Policy

We want you to be completely satisfied with your purchase. Please read this policy carefully before placing your order. Seeds are living products with special considerations that affect our return policy.

14-DAY RETURNS

For unopened items

Seeds that did not come up

Those are not a return — they fall under our germination promise: at least 80% of a pack comes up when you follow our germination guide, and we replace the ones that fail. What we ask in return:

  • Photos of the seeds and of your setup
  • A short description of the method you used
  • Contact within 30 days of delivery

Storage and growing conditions after delivery are outside our hands, so seeds kept for months or germinated another way are judged case by case.
