I'm on the hunt for seeds—specifically, I need bulk wildflower seeds (1/4 pound), a pack of 2000 mountain mint seeds, some herbs, and more. I've been considering buying from Amazon, but is that a safe option? Where do you recommend I get my seeds from?

I've had great luck with Johnny's Selected Seeds! They have a wide variety and their seeds germinate well. Also, for bulk wildflowers, you might try Outside Pride—I bought bulk clover and calendula, and both had impressive germination rates.
If you're looking for something different, I found a wonderful Etsy shop that sells unique seeds. I ordered some fun stuff like pink lettuce and black jalapeños. It's nice to support small sellers too! Check out Seed Cult on Etsy.
Honestly, I wouldn't recommend buying seeds from Amazon. It's better to go directly to suppliers who focus on quality. Amazon doesn’t have strict quality controls, which can be a gamble. Check out Southern Seed Exchange; they’re a co-op based in Virginia and specialize in heirloom and open-pollinated seeds.
