So, here's the deal—I couldn't make it down to the local nursery, but I checked their website and they don't carry chives. However, I stumbled onto this one site that has basically every seed imaginable, including several different varieties of chives. They aren't even that pricey, so once I've got some cash on hand and figure out how their whole ordering and payment system works, I'm definitely grabbing some chives along with a few other plants. Here's the link if you want to check it out: http://www.kpr.eu/hr/perennials/?do=...S250&amount=20

Feel free to take a look if you guys need anything

@ jean michelle - if I manage to get my order through, I'll pop some seeds in the mail for you, but you should probably poke around the site yourself too

So, I went ahead and checked in with my local herbalist, and the ladies there suggested checking out that big nursery over in suburban New Jersey or maybe one of those garden centers near downtown Chicago.
I've got no clue where you're coming from, but I’m planning on heading out to the Jersey nursery in a couple of days to ask around, so I'll let you know what I find.
Plus, the women at the shop told me to specifically look for "Lady's Mantle"—apparently, it grows all over the US anyway🙂—and the last box of supplies I picked up actually listed the origin as being right here in America.

Honestly, I’m in the same boat. I really want to start my own little garden, mostly just so I actually know what the hell I'm consuming. This stuff I bought at the local CVS tastes and smells like literal lawn clippings. From what I’ve heard, this batch is sourced from some manufacturer in Turkey, and I have absolutely no clue how anyone is supposed to track down legit seeds or actual seedlings without getting ripped off 🤷
