Aussiekool, left the following 5 star review for the product Anemone Cottage Poppy Mixed (Pack of 50 Corms), Order HVS344169: I planted them right beside my front fence and since then they have started growing and are about 10 cm high, Can't wait to see them flowering, Easy to follow instruction and planting, All that i planted have grown, Excellent packaging and fast mail service.
Purchased a yellow raspberry plant from these people along with some seeds. The plant was bare rooted and had some small roots. The plant was dead, although I tried to revive it. Badly packed and was over charged as they put my seeds in the same package. I sent an email to them but did not receive a response. I will NEVER buy from them again.

Dear Happy Valley Seeds Team, I am writing to express my sincere gratitude for the exceptional quality of the Tulsi (Holy Basil) seeds I recently purchased from you. I had been searching everywhere for this specific plant, as I truly believe Tulsi is a symbol of peace and spiritual well-being. It was very important to me to have its calming… Read more
presence in my home garden. To be honest, I was a bit apprehensive about whether it would grow on my balcony, as it receives no direct sunlight. Most guides suggest that Tulsi requires several hours of sun to survive, but your seeds have proven to be incredibly resilient. Despite the lack of direct light, my Tulsi has not only survived but is genuinely thriving. I have also attached a video with this email. Thank you for providing such high-quality heirloom seeds that have allowed me to bring a piece of peace and greenery into my space. I will certainly be recommending Happy Valley Seeds to my fellow gardening enthusiasts! Warm regards,
I have been buying seeds from Happy Valley and recently bought water spinach and Malabar spinach seeds. They turned out really good quality seeds and I’m enjoying fresh veggies daily
Excellent quality seeds, great speedy delivery and all around excellent service.
This is an updated review as I have been growing the plant longer. Firstly ,the seeds germinated really well but the seedlings tend to be slow growing when small. It could just be my growing conditions though. Once they get larger, they take off ,grow very quickly and get to a good size. The leaves are very tasty and I highly recommend this plant.
Planted out all potato seedling, plants are progressing excellent, very happy with the results.
Growing broccoli sprouts has been such a rewarding experience! Thanks to the easy instructions, I had fresh, crisp sprouts ready to eat in just six days. Highly recommend!
Very good germination rate. I have several plants. The ones in the sun are growing faster but all doing well. Looking forward to munching on them.Plants are still fairly small but it is midwinter.Nice wavy leaves.Very happy overall.
The potato seeds came in good condition and ready for planting. They are growing well in grow bags, though not ready for harvest.

The tastiest rocket I’ve eaten. Quick growth and easy care.
Ryset - Potato Growing Bag, love the grow bags, they're perfect and easy to move around!
The Sebago seed potatoes arrived promptly. Though their eyes were small and just visible, they are growing and currently flourishing.
The Chinese Sword Pointed Lettuce seeds germinated well and made healthy little seedlings. I have ordered from Happy Valley Seeds before and product, service, postage time has all been great. They made my new edible garden a happy experience

A very wide range. Easy to use website. Quick shipping. Very reasonable prices. Some of the little plastic baggies are a bit of a pain, but they are well-sealed and can be resealed with an old-fashioned paper clip. I think Happy Valley Seeds provides an invaluable service to gardeners. Thanks
Follow-up · I would like to report an excellent strike rate, as good if not better than any other seeds on the market. Oregano and Parsley all over the place. I tried a different variety of rocket. which was probably not as prolific as others I have tried, a bit lacking in peppery flavour, but there they are still offering a few leaves for the occasional… Read more

Dear Happy Valley Seeds, I purchased seeds for Redland Pioneer beans, two types of zucchini, little finger eggplants and golden nugget pumpkins from you in Spring 2025. Beans and zucchini were a success. But the eggplants were something else again. I germinated them in small pots in a shade house, planted them out as seedlings, and I have… Read more · 1
never had a crop of egg plants like this. I just could not keep up with the supply, despite giving them away to friends and neighbours. But what has impressed me even more is that four weeks ago, as remaining fruit had turned brown and plants looked past their best, I cut them back hard, just leaving upper branches with flowers, fed and watered them, and a second and almost equally impressive crop grew in just a few weeks. I attach a few photos to show you this second crop. My one failure were the golden nugget pumpkins. They grew fine and looked healthy, same garden patch as the other veggies, but produced absolutely no fruit. Not one. Would appreciate any feedback you might have about what might have caused this failure. I've ordered with you again since Spring '25 and will certainly be doing so later in the year.
Don't waste your money. Attatched are photos of the obvious poor quality of Marigold and a photo of 2 separate piles. Had to repackage all seeds as they skimp out on resealable bags. The top pile in the photo are all non-viable seeds, whereas the bottom pile all sprouted at least 3/5 seeds. They will give you $1.86 back, without requesting and… Read more
think that will make everything ok. $1.86 doesn't cover the countless other failed varieties. Absolute scam. I tried to sprout 'fresh marigold seeds' from Happy Valley's lot. Absolutely 0/10 sprouted while all but 1 of my old leftover batch from another company sprouted and grew strong. Happy Valley tried saying it was my fault and that it was the wrong time of weather. Pfft. Wrong weather? They're indoors not even sprouted. The weather only really matters when you put them outside to grow up, except the cold strat seeds. Further more, why did the other company's work if it was the wrong weather? Happy Valley lies and cheats people of their money. The company will add some kind of comment to rectify their errors. Buy elsewhere. Anywhere but here. Buying overseas would be better even. Multiple quick and easy varieties did not sprout from this company. Other failed seeds include fava beans, dandelion. Only 2 out of 10 eggplant worked. Happy Valley sells seeds that are old and dead. Buy bulk from suppliers instead. Sell what you won't use, make a little money. Don't support these thieves. They try make you 2nd guess yourself, like a narcisst gaslights their victims. $1.86 refund for 15+ packets of failed seeds. Bought around 40 varieties. Not 1 whole packet should fail from a seed company. Maybe a few seeds within the pack, but definitely not every seed that gets sown.
Gave them 3 reasonable options to rectify the dead seeds. 1) 7 fresh viable packets 2) 30% refund 3) full refund and seeds returned
I laugh. 1) They said that's too many packets (far less than half of my non-viable varieties) 2) They said not offering a 30% refund and call me unreasonable when they offer a measley $1.86 and about 30% of the packs were dead , plus the 1st request was simply live seeds. 3) They said seeds have to be sealed in original packaging.
You can't reason with them. They had a pop-up special which was nothing more than a sceme to get rid of mostly dead seeds.
And finally the $1.86 refund was not requested. I only wanted what I was supposed to have paid for. Who knows how many people this person has scammed.
I'd love to name some good quality companies that I have purchased from but I don't think I should put good names in a bad review. Good luck finding a trustworthy company to purchase from and happy holidays
Love their heirloom seeds choice! – I am totally obsessed with these incredible heirloom seeds! It brings me so much joy to see the beautiful array of colours when I harvest carrots. They are easier to grow than I thought. Happy Valley Seeds' had a decent 75% to 85% germination success rate, and these carrot seeds didn't disappoint. Although, it's too early to judge the flavours,… Read more · 1
they are growing happily and healthy, despite some nibbling from critters. I was a complete beginner when it came to growing corn, but I was amazed by how quickly these corn heirloom mix seeds sprouted on a cozy heatmat - about 80% germination rate. Now, some of the corn plants are towering over 3m tall with multiple cobs. I am buzzing with excitement to taste the mouthwatering results. But that's not all - I also got my hands on some awesome heirloom chilli mix, which is flowering and about to produce chillies - can't wait to taste them, cauliflower (saving for autumn), and spinach seeds. I harvested spinach in spring and let me tell you, it was absolutely delicious! And the best part? It's completely spray-free! I would be a repeat customer and will recommend this company to my loved ones as the seeds are of good quality and quite affordable.

The only place to buy seeds, well packaged, clear instructions for each type of seed and fast delivery. Will definitely be buying again. Everything I've planted has started to sprout and growing strong.
Helen Moss, left the following 5 star review for the product Seed Potato - Purple Bliss, Order HVS344355: These potatoes arrived in perfect condition and are now growing enthusiastically in grow bags so I can give them to friends who don't have much space in their gardens. It was a delight even to find seed potatoes of Purple Bliss, which is not a… Read more
variety you are likely to find in Bunnings or the like. That's presumably because it is not bog-standard and boring - and might even frighten the multitudes, who will only tolerate bog-standard and boring. Beaut spuds, great price and excellent service. An all-round happy experience. Many thanks.
Genevieve Low, left the following 4 star review for the product Happy Valley Seeds: The ordered seeds always arrive in quick time. The only thing is sometimes I don't get in time to order seeds that I really want. It's disappointing when they sell out.
Ange Devine, left the following 5 star review for the product Happy Valley Seeds: Can't rate my purchases yet cause promptly had a run of minus 3's and below. Just about to start planting now.
Such a diverse selection of seeds. I love this online store as it's so easy to navigate to what I need for my garden. I'll be back soon to get more seeds for my spring garden.
