Does Burpee deliver seeds and products to Canada?

**MomToTwoBoys** · 01-04-2010, 12:06 AM

So we decided on three vegetables for our garden this year:

Peas
Beans
Broccoli

I'd like to order my seeds now and containers to grow them in to transplant for when the weather gets nice. I looked at Burpee, but I wasn't sure if they delivered to Canada for things like their Ultimate Growing System and their seeds.

Has anyone in Canada ordered from Burpee before and would know? If not, I'll contact them myself.

Don't know........have you checked on their website? That should tell you.........shouldn't be any problem with just seeds and garden stuff.........might not be able to for plants.

I checked their Shipping Information website and this is what they have:

-- Sorry, we cannot ship nursery stock outside the continental U.S.

So when they say nursery stock, they just mean the already grown plants? Seeds and other accessories are able to be shipped?

check out salt springs seeds for seeds from canada, especially beans!
it might be www.saltspringseeds.com

I wanted to order from them, but they couldn't ship to US. Not sure if Burpee ships to Canada.

Just went to the site, it's because of customs regulations they can't ship to US. Dang, I'd rather buy from them than Burpee. they are heirloom & organic. Also have lot s of good info on growing & saving seeds.

I might give this place a shot for the quinoa and amaranth seeds. Those two in flour form are extremely expensive (something like $13.50 per kg at the natural health food store) and they're needed for several recipes of mine.

Nursery stock means live plants. There are a lot of regulations about those crossing state lines and national borders. You should be able to get seeds no problem, though.
