Hi, I'm Karen Horn, the founder of FGMN. My love for collecting and nurturing rare plants has been a lifelong passion, but it all started when I was just eight years old. Back then, I was showing rabbits under the name For-Get-Me-Not Rabbitry—a name that came about after I misspelled 'forget.' That little mistake turned into a lasting symbol of my dedication to the things I care about.
My interest in rare plants began in 1997, and it has only grown since then. My first Monstera was a Thai Constellation, and that started my journey into the world of unique and exotic plants. Of all the plants I've collected, my absolute favorite is the Philodendron Caramel Marble. And if there's one thing I can never pass up, it's a good Gloriosum—they always find a way into my collection!
Recently, I decided to take my passion to the next level and turn it into a business. At FGMN, I focus on offering a carefully curated selection of rare and healthy plants. Whether it’s tissue culture, selections from my personal collection, or collaborations with trusted partners, I strive to offer the widest variety possible while maintaining fair pricing and exceptional quality.
What truly sets FGMN apart from other rare plant companies is the deep personal connection I have with each plant I sell. This business isn’t just about selling rare plants; it’s about sharing a piece of my journey and expertise with each customer. When you buy from FGMN, you're not just purchasing a plant—you’re acquiring something I’ve personally cultivated and cared for, often from my own collection.
Additionally, I’m committed to being available for any questions or support. Many rare plant companies may offer unique plants, but few provide the level of personalized care and guidance that I do. My goal is to ensure that you feel confident and supported long after your purchase, fostering a deeper sense of community and trust.
Lastly, by collaborating with trusted partners, I’m able to expand my offerings without compromising on the high standards of quality and health that I’m known for. This combination of personal care, expert knowledge, and variety makes FGMN a truly special place for rare plant enthusiasts.
FGMN is more than just a business to me—it's the continuation of a journey rooted in a deep love for rare and beautiful plants, with a focus on quality, care, and a little bit of fun along the way.
