Chastant Bros and/or Lastrapes Garden Center.

What specifically are you looking for?

Thibodeaux’s Town and Country in Abbeville has a good selection. I find their prices to be lower than Chastant’s.

How many do you need? Basic seed packs for vegetables are often sold in the 100-250 pack, that's a lot of seeds

Typical Sumer and fall vegetable seeds. Tomatillos are the only somewhat unusual seeds.

Tractor supply had a good selection of the packets the other day. Not bulk for sure though. Maybe reach out to the Urban Naturalist, he may be of help.

Been to atlas. Not sure that place has a lot of customer service. That red head who works there is always in a bad mood. They have good inventory but not like going to Picards for auto supplies where you get treated like a king.

Chastants was the gold standard for years. Inventory of what was needed, reasonable prices, incredible knowledgeable helpful employees. But since the sale it just isn’t the same. Giid service but seems like prices went up and inventory (at least seeds) went down and last year was first time I had seeds that I bought that didn’t germinate second year.

Baker Creek



The problem I have with seed catalogs like Baker Creek, Johnny's Selected Seeds, etc. is their packets are usually way higher priced than you can find at the local big box stores like Home Depot and Lowes or at local nurseries that sell seed packets. Plus there's usually going to be a shipping charge on top of that, depending on how much you spend.

I grow a fair sized backyard garden and get all my seeds and already started plants at Jefferson Feed or Bantings Nursery here in the N.O. area.

I don't usually buy seeds for things like tomatoes, bell peppers, hot peppers and several fall plants like cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower since I won't use but a fraction of what's in the packets and they wind up going to waste most times.
