Customer care & growing outcomes
We are committed to providing high-quality seed and thoughtful, responsive customer support. Our Customer Care Team aims to respond to all enquiries as promptly and efficiently as possible.
While we proudly stand behind our seed with our 100% Grow Guarantee, successful germination and growth can be influenced by factors beyond our control, including weather, soil conditions, planting methods, timing, and individual growing environments. For this reason, results may vary from garden to garden.
Fontana Seeds makes no express or implied warranty regarding crop yield, productivity, or final performance beyond the terms of our Guarantee. The guarantee applies only when seeds are planted and cared for in accordance with our recommended instructions and within appropriate growing conditions.
By purchasing from Fontana Seeds, customers acknowledge that gardening is a natural process and that outcomes depend on proper care and suitable conditions. When concerns arise, we are always happy to review them and work with customers in good faith, in line with our guarantee.
