So cool. Thanks for showing us your behind the scenes. I love the attitude of thinking about people's gardens and also the quality of work for the workers.
Wow very impressive Luke! While watching the guy throw seeds in each packet, I was like WOW! I would’ve had seeds everywhere except the packet 🤣 I’m anxiously waiting to order soon 🌱🌱🌱
I've been ordering seeds from you for the past 2 yrs, since we moved to the country. Never disappointed with the seeds. I ALWAYS get a bumper crop of delicious food. Daniel Arms from ARMS FAMILY HOMESTEAD, is the one who got me hooked on your seeds..
That is quite a super efficient operation you run there and it's really good to know that the small farmers are involved in that. Thank you for showing us.
You have quite the operation. Very impressive. I buy a lot of seeds from you and have been very satisfied in quality and your prices are great. Keep up the good work!
I really want to visit your facility one day. Your transparency is definitely a testament to your commitment and it shows you actually practice what you're preaching in your videos. Lots of love and respect to the MI Gardner team and it's leadership! Keep up the great work!!
That’s really cool to see how organized and functional everything is! Thanks for packing up a part of my garden, MI Gardener Elves, haha! My order is coming on Monday and I’m so excited. I think I’m most excited for the Minnesota Midget Cantaloupe seeds
I'm such an MIgardener groupie and I love how far you have progressed. I love your family and team and hope you continue to persevere! I've got over 70 seeds saved on my wishlist and can't wait until they're back in stock lol 😆 great job team!!!!!
I have been buying seeds since 2015 and may still have a few packets in storage. Thank you for the tour and explaining how you do the great job of getting the seeds processed. I look forward to "Launch Day" while remembering those early Launch Days when we (thousands of gardners) used to crash the old MIGardner seed store website. May God continue to bless you and the business.
Yes, that is a very cool machine! And your seed packaging and storing system is top notch!!!!!! You guys really care and love what you do and that is why you have been so successful and we really appreciate all of you!!!!!! ty
Luke, it's been so awesome to see you and your team grow big! My family absolutely loves the business culture you've adopted, which is why we support you here in PA. Not only thinking about the customers but your above and beyond consideration for your team around you speaks dividends of you as a leader. God Bless and looking forward to the 2023 garden season!!
You have stayed true to all the things you envisioned in the beginning of your channel. I love that you support small farmers. You employ and thus support families. Your business is successful because you have good business practices and transparency. I’m proud to have been one of the followers from the beginning. I knew you would grow and be successful!! I also appreciate that you keep it simple and affordable for us consumers to be able to grow heirloom seeds with really good germination! I’m really proud of how Mrs Mi gardener and yourself have made the world a better place.
The new building looks great, thank you for the look inside seed packing. I wish I could watch the launch when it happens but I teach, so can’t watch it until I get home. I always miss out on the giveaways but I already have my wish list ready. Thank you for all the information and encouragement to other gardeners and those just beginning.
It made me happy to see the Canadian flag 🇨🇦 as well! I imagine that a lot of customers are Canadian where Michigan shares the border with Canada. The free shipping to Canada with minimum purchase helps! I'm Canadian and I get seeds from MIGardener twice a year. Once at the new launch and once at the end of season 50% off sale.
Just ordered 2023 seeds. Thank you Luke and to your team who bring us season after season of great product and support. Your teaching is priceless. Happy Thanksgiving to the MIGardener family.
I ordered some seeds during the 50% off sale a couple months ago. I like to order a few things I wouldn't normally buy when they are on sale. I tried 2 varieties of sunflower this spring and they were gorgeous! I find even (most) seeds a few years old have a good germination rate. This spring I found a forgotten bag of pole beans (scarlet runner) I harvested in 2018. I thought 'what the heck' and sowed 10 of them. 8 grew into beautiful tall plants and the hummingbirds loved the flowers! I work November 21st but will see what's new for 2023 after work!
That was really neat to see how all that works. Thanks for filming the behind the scenes. I listened to a sermon on the radio this morning about integrity and I would say you have that covered. Integrity and sincerity. Thank you! Looking forward to Monday.
MY SEEDS CAME IN!!! I was so excited to receive my seeds a day earlier than predicted. I had to make a video about how beautiful the packaging is and what a wonderful selection I was able to get. Thanks so much for sharing how you source your seeds ( 7:20 ) it really means a lot to me that you use small farms.
Well I would love to see your launch day. I live anything seeds and excited to see this episode. I ordered and received the bulb fertilizer and I'm so glad I did. Thanks for bringing us along. Hello Mrs. MIgardner.💛💚 Love how you support local and US farmers.
I enjoyed this so much. I am new to you this year. Placed several orders and binge watched so many videos. and now i see behind the scenes. Best of luck always. My garden in Louisiana thrives from your help. Thank you for your knowledge and passion.
VERY interesting! Thank you! (Seed viability - I am still growing tomatoes from seed that sat in a drawer - dried on napkin, stored in ziploc bag - for 22 YEARS)!
The entire process looks so awesome. Love that you still have older machines that have been tailored for today's applications. I can't wait for launch day! I already wrote down my list and anxiously waiting.
Very Interesting video. Glad to get to be able to look around. Nice old seed packaging machine 👍👍👍 I hope to be able to remember your opening day so I can pick up a few packs of seeds. Maybe I will grow a few plants indoors over the winter.
I'm very excited for launch day! I appreciate that your company has taken the time to think about employee's physical health--hand packing the seeds seems like it'd eventually take a toll on the hands and lead to carpal tunnel.
Love the rhythm Aiden has going. I kept waiting for the rest of the music to start. 😂 I don’t know which is more impressive, how you treat customers or how you treat your staff.
Very interesting to see how this is all done! I appreciate Mom and Pop businesses. Now, with that underground seltzer water you have access to, you can start your own MI Brewery! I guess I missed out on the seed for the giant tomatoes you brought back from extinction, but I did ask to be notified, so hopefully I will be able to get some next year. You have done well, Grasshopper!
Amazing! Love to see small businesses being supported. Will definitely by from you vs a big company that doesn't care about me. Thank you for your hard work.
Outstanding! I'll think about this video every time I watch your how-to videos and every time I go through your site picking out my seeds. I have a nice list ready to order as soon as the seeds are available.
Thank you for sharing this video! QUESTION: Will you be showing behind the scenes of some of the farms that you collect seeds from and how they gather such an abundant amount of seeds?
I love this!!! As a seed saver and a Tinkerer, I love hearing about where and who you get the seeds from AND how they are packaged and stored. I’m ecstatic at how you have evolved from a kid who loved to garden, to creating a whole business doing something you love. You may not think of this Luke and Sindy, but since we know a lot about you guys, you have become like family to a lot of us. I just love watching how you’ve grown and how successful you’ve become. It makes us so proud to be your “friends”. I’m happy to support you guys ❌⭕️♥️ God bless and keep you both. Happy thanksgiving 🦃
This video was excellent thank you for posting it. I honestly never knew this is how you pack the seeds and who/where you get the seeds from it makes me feel even better buying seeds from your great company.
I like the behind the scenes. I liked seeing that old seed machine although one pack of beans I ordered said 25 count and I only got 11 but some other 25 packs made up for it with extra!
Love the quality of your seeds. I have bought at other online seed shops. Their seed quality was not that great. Really impressed with your seeds. Also love the tour.
Absolutely LOVE this video!!! Wish I wasn't all the way in Georgia...I would DEFINITELY attend your Launch Day! I will certainly be shopping online, my alarm is set! THANK YOU for all of the information you share!
Wondering if you're employees are gardening at home and do they have perks i.e free seeds/merch. It's nice to see your concern for your staff's health & wellbeing. Happy workers are more productive 😊
Hey Luke I used your fertilizer for the first time and within a couple days the plants that was not doing anything just started bursting out some huge leaves can't wait for spring
I'm going to miss the party! :( I've got an interview at 11 AM - will be shopping though when I get home! Be sure and save me some!! Thanks for sharing...very impressive! Made my hands tired just watching the basil packing...
So cool to watch a business start from the ground up and grow. Thei winter and next spring, you may have more business than you can keep up with as prices continue going the wrong direction.
I recommend MIGardener to anyone who mentions seeds or a garden. Twice this season, mistakes have been made with my orders. The first one was an extra pack of seeds that I didn't order. I called and tried to pay for them. I got a " thank you for your honesty", but never got charged. Next, I ordered some garlic. At the time it was shipped, my mailbox had been ran over. The post office held the garlic without notifying me. By the time I searched it out, they had returned it to MIGardener. MIGardener refunded the money even though they weren't at fault. I called again and explained what had happened and wanted them to recharge my card. They wouldn't do it. I'm kinda old and these are the nicest group of people I've ever done business with!! Please, buy all your garden needs from Luke. Love from Mississippi!!!
GREAT VIDEO LUKE!! LOVE THIS VIDEO! i LOVE SEEING HOW YOU GUYS OPERATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! goals !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! love it !
Congratulations Luke! I wish you would do launch day on non- business day! My work calendar stacked back to back meetings will try to make it but not sure.
I'd love to come up to the store, but I'd spend way too much (and it's a bit of a drive)! Can't wait to order my seeds, also ordering seeds for my daughter for Christmas.
Great video, I loved seeing your processes. Looks like your packages have a sheen. Did you upgrade the paper used for the packets? If so, I'm excited to see them.
Luke . I'm so proud of all You have accomplished. A beautiful family , A successful Business. God bless . You make us proud to be from Michigan.
So cool. Thanks for showing us your behind the scenes. I love the attitude of thinking about people's gardens and also the quality of work for the workers.
Wow very impressive Luke! While watching the guy throw seeds in each packet, I was like WOW! I would’ve had seeds everywhere except the packet 🤣 I’m anxiously waiting to order soon 🌱🌱🌱
Thanks for showing us around, Luke! That was amazing and mesmerizing! That machine is really cool but your team is almost as fast.😳🤩
Blessings! 💚

You have quite the operation. Very impressive. I buy a lot of seeds from you and have been very satisfied in quality and your prices are great. Keep up the good work!
Never thought I’d get emotional over a RUclips video about seeds! Gardening really has changed me as a person 😆 Super excited for Monday! 🎉

my mom has been talking about packing yalls seeds. It awesome to see how its done! Can't wait for launch day. Getting our list ready.
“You’re packing someone’s garden” what a lovely and lyrical way to put it. Thank you
VERY interesting! Thank you!
(Seed viability - I am still growing tomatoes from seed that sat in a drawer - dried on napkin, stored in ziploc bag - for 22 YEARS)!
The vintage seed packaging machine is sooo cool Thanks for showing us your processes
Looking forward to restocking and getting ready for 2023!
Loved this! Thanks for all you do and for inspiring so many of us to grow our own food.
The entire process looks so awesome. Love that you still have older machines that have been tailored for today's applications. I can't wait for launch day! I already wrote down my list and anxiously waiting.
Very Interesting video. Glad to get to be able to look around. Nice old seed packaging machine 👍👍👍
I hope to be able to remember your opening day so I can pick up a few packs of seeds. Maybe I will grow a few plants indoors over the winter.
Thank you for the behind the Scene Tour 😊😊😊
Hope Mrs Migardner and baby are well too❤
So cool that some of my seeds are hand packaged!!!! Thank you!!
Fascinating. Thanks for the tour.
It’s great to see how it works from the inside. Very inspiring for us who are starting seed selling. Thanks Luke!
Love seeing the behind the scenes process. Wish I could attend the launch but a gals got to work to support her gardening habit!
Very cool. Thanks for sharing with us!
Awesome to learn all involved with seed warehousing and packing!! Thanks for sharing
I'm very excited for launch day! I appreciate that your company has taken the time to think about employee's physical health--hand packing the seeds seems like it'd eventually take a toll on the hands and lead to carpal tunnel.
Love the rhythm Aiden has going. I kept waiting for the rest of the music to start. 😂 I don’t know which is more impressive, how you treat customers or how you treat your staff.
Very interesting to see how this is all done! I appreciate Mom and Pop businesses. Now, with that underground seltzer water you have access to, you can start your own MI Brewery!
I guess I missed out on the seed for the giant tomatoes you brought back from extinction, but I did ask to be notified, so hopefully I will be able to get some next year. You have done well, Grasshopper!
Amazing! Love to see small businesses being supported. Will definitely by from you vs a big company that doesn't care about me. Thank you for your hard work.
That was awesome! I will be watching your special day and get some seeds. I live in Idaho.
This was so fun to see how ya'll pack my order!! I have been buying my seeds from you for over 2 years, always happy with my orders!!
Outstanding! I'll think about this video every time I watch your how-to videos and every time I go through your site picking out my seeds. I have a nice list ready to order as soon as the seeds are available.
Really fun and interesting video. Thanks for the tour.

Very impressive. I can’t wait to order.
VERY VERY IMPRESSIVE!!!
Great, thanks!

Thanks for the fascinating tour! 😎
So cool! Very inspiring to see.
Congratulations on your successful business growth!! So exciting!!
Great operation you have built up! I ordered more seeds!
I like the behind the scenes. I liked seeing that old seed machine although one pack of beans I ordered said 25 count and I only got 11 but some other 25 packs made up for it with extra!

I see some gloss on those packets! New packaging! Good luck with your live launch!

You can attend live! It’s going to be here on RUclips.
@@MIgardener WAHOOOOO!!!! Can't wait! Good luck today! I hope y'all have a FANTASTIC event and meet LOADS of new friends!
This is really cool to see! I haven’t been part of the celebrations before excited to try to catch it live this year!
Wondering if you're employees are gardening at home and do they have perks i.e free seeds/merch. It's nice to see your concern for your staff's health & wellbeing. Happy workers are more productive 😊
Very interesting! Thank you for this!
You are packing someone’s garden…. That is so COOL❤️❤️❤️
Hey Luke I used your fertilizer for the first time and within a couple days the plants that was not doing anything just started bursting out some huge leaves can't wait for spring
Thank you so much. That was very interesting. So neat thanks for sharing.
I'm going to miss the party! :( I've got an interview at 11 AM - will be shopping though when I get home! Be sure and save me some!! Thanks for sharing...very impressive! Made my hands tired just watching the basil packing...
Have all the seeds we want in a wishlist ready to buy as soon as they're available.
Luke, thanks for sharing !
I plan on trying to watch the launch around parent teacher conference that afternoon. Have a great day.
Thank you for considering demands on employee bodies. I now have a very serious back problem from years of dedication to my career.
That old seed packer was cool.
So cool that old seed packer machine
So cool to watch a business start from the ground up and grow. Thei winter and next spring, you may have more business than you can keep up with as prices continue going the wrong direction.
Tammy here. Jeez I’m retiring in January. If I lived in MI I would try to work part time there. Beautifully one.
Hello from Texas. The snow in this video is making me miss Michigan.

Thank you so much! I got some seeds from you last year and I'm considering another order this year, though I'm not exactly lacking in seeds😅
GREAT VIDEO LUKE!! LOVE THIS VIDEO! i LOVE SEEING HOW YOU GUYS OPERATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! goals !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! love it !
Can’t wait for launch! Just a few hours away🥰
Congratulations Luke! I wish you would do launch day on non- business day! My work calendar stacked back to back meetings will try to make it but not sure.
Thank you! That was very fun and informative. I’ve got my account set up and my wishlist started - ready for Nov 21!
So impressive!
I'd love to come up to the store, but I'd spend way too much (and it's a bit of a drive)! Can't wait to order my seeds, also ordering seeds for my daughter for Christmas.
That is a very cool seed packet machine!
Great video, I loved seeing your processes. Looks like your packages have a sheen. Did you upgrade the paper used for the packets? If so, I'm excited to see them.
Thank you! This is very informative and interesting
So.. Looks like I need to be ready to order on the 21st. haha. I've been checking out the selection for a few days.
I'm going to order my seeds from you for next year's season!! No more big box seeds.
Very interesting! Thanks for taking us along as you grow forward. I kind of lost interest when you kept going back to your old yard to shoot videos.
Let it ❄️ Let it ❄️ Let it Snow!
How exciting! I save seeds, but would like a few I don’t have.
I live in South Louisiana and it is very rare to see snow.
