We started during the pandemic when Steve (our founder) discovered lockdown's impact on the horticultural industry while recovering from COVID-19 himself. Two weeks later, with help from old friends and colleagues, Muddy Trowel was born.
Traditionally, gardening has been stuffy and impenetrable — 'rhizomatous perennial' anyone? Our mission is to democratise plant growing. We believe anyone should be able to create their own oasis, no green fingers required.
In November 2021, we raised a £1m seed round led by Evergreen (owners of MiracleGro) and are backed by some of Europe's best angel investors.
Since launch, we've delivered gardening kits to thousands of customers across London and the South East.
We source top-quality plants from British growers and design seasonal collections to add instant impact to your garden.
Plants, pots, peat-free compost, guides - everything you need to plant up in 10 minutes.
We remind you each month which plants need care, so you can relax and your plants can thrive.
