ethos

"We began in July 1997 with a simple idea - to make beautiful exotic plants available to everybody... Our aim is to offer you something different. Some of our plants have not been commercially available before, or are long forgotten. We passionately believe they, and you, deserve more. We stand for innovation and adventure. These are exciting plants! Let's push the boundaries a little" Excerpt from introduction to first MULU catalogue 1997/98.

Such a long time ago! A world with no iPods, no broadband, no 21st Century. Much has changed in the exotic plant world too - however our ethos has not. We are still wholeheartedly committed to innovation, a love of plants and a no nonsense approach where the customer comes first.

We are proud of our reputation amongst the vanguard of exotic gardeners and even prouder that some of the plants that are now relatively commonplace in the UK were pioneered by us.

We have always offered a commitment to quality plants, great prices and excellent service whilst Andy tries to raise a smile with his catalogue and website banter. Some of Andy's writing raises a few eyebrows too; "tell 'em to stick their pansies up the *rse" being just one example...
