About Boston Seeds

Boston Seeds is an independent seed merchant founded in 2002, with a mission to make the highest quality, professional seed products available to everyone - from homeowners and gardeners to landscapers, professional bodies, sports clubs, councils and farmers. We believe that every customer should have access to the very best, specialist products to truly make the most of their outdoor spaces - lawns, gardens, landscapes, equine, sports and agriculture. 

Boston Seeds was one of the very first companies to sell grass seeds, wildflower seeds and flower bulbs on the internet. Today, we are proud to be the largest online seller in the UK, trusted by over 200,000 happy customers, with a reputation for professional quality, world-class service and outstanding value for everyone. 

The same Boston Seeds philosophy applies as much today as it did in 2002:

'Providing quality products, fit for purpose and at competitive prices. Customer service second to none.'

Facilities and Future Investment

Investment has followed the increase in both retail and trade sales, to consumers and businesses alike. A major improvement in service and product availability happened when the company established its own distribution centre in 2008 and acquired land for trials and product development in 2010. More recently in 2021, Boston Seeds expanded both office and distribution facilities, including a 25,000sqft warehouse and a temperature-controlled store for wildflower and specialist seeds. This facility cements our commitment to delivering exceptional product quality alongside outstanding customer service.

Celebrating the company's 20th birthday on 1st March 2022, Boston Seeds announced the appointment of George Wallis as its new Managing Director, to secure the company's bright future and independent leadership. George Wallis joined Boston Seeds in 2013 following a successful career in FMCG and was most recently its Commercial Director. 

International Trade

At Boston Seeds, we're passionate about the quality of our products and delighting each and every customer - find out more about how we ensure our products are only of the highest quality by visiting our quality page. 

Boston Seeds imports products from around the world to ensure the most appropriate products are available at the most competitive prices. But, ever conscious of supporting British farmers and industry, we produce around 1000 hectares of seed crops in the UK each year, and our exports usually exceed imports. Boston Seeds aims to bring its customers the latest products and has acquired a significant portfolio working with some of the most successful breeders in the world, and have UK Marketing Rights from a number of these leading breeders.

Charity Work

The Boston Seeds business goes from strength to strength and we don’t ignore our responsibility to support some worthwhile causes along our journey. From 2022-2024 we made contributions to a broad range, including:

• Marie Curie
• Gillead Foundation
• Buglife
• Boston in Bloom
• Boston Marathon UK
• Addaction, Boston
• Butterfly Hospice, Boston
• Lincolnshire Road Victims Trust
• Save the Children

Every Christmas, we are pleased to donate chocolate selection boxes and other sweet treats to the Boston Foodbank, and more recently we are proud to have donated thousands of nappies and baby wipes to the Ukraine Disaster Emergency Fund.
