Title: Twinned seed companies.
Post by: mumofstig on August 12, 2019, 15:01

I know a few of the other seed companies use separate on-line sites to sell their seed under different brand-names, eg Suttons/Dobies and Mr Fothergill's/Johnsons, but I was surprised when I ordered Unwins seeds that the payment went to Marshalls.
Or did everyone else already know that?  :blush:

Aren't DT Brown part of the same group? I know van Meuwen and T&M are conjoined too

Seems like there is fewer and fewer actual choices really, doesn't it?

And I believe even fewer actual seed houses who supply these companies
