Rating of the best online stores of seeds and seedlings for 2022

During the period of quarantine measures, the best choice would be to spend this time not within the four walls of a city apartment, but on a personal plot, doing a pleasant and useful thing - growing plants for your own table.

The recent warming of the climate and the development of agricultural technologies make it possible to grow a large number of cultivated plants, including exotic ones. Being in self-isolation is a good time to discover new varieties, study the features of their cultivation and acquire a new “inhabitant” for your garden.

In order to minimize the risks of contracting coronavirus, we recommend not visiting stationary stores where a large number of people pass in a short period of time, but searching for the required product on the Internet. Fortunately, competition in this area allows you to choose from a large number of them. Almost all of them carry out delivery at the location of the buyer by courier service, some of them - by mail (in this case, you will have to pick up the parcel at the delivery office).

When ordering planting material for a certain amount, many sellers deliver plants and seeds for free, so before ordering products, we recommend estimating the total cost in order to save on shipping.

In this article, we will compile a rating of organizations involved in the network sale of quality seedlings and seeds, formed on the basis of customer reviews, consider the criteria for choosing such companies, and also find out what to look for in order not to make mistakes when choosing.

The indisputable advantage of buying via the Internet is the absence of queues, as well as the ability to choose the necessary planting material without haste, in a cozy home environment with a cup of tea or coffee.
