About FGMN Nursery

FGMN Nursery sells live beneficial insects, predatory mites and nematodes to home growers and plant collectors, from Hackettstown, New Jersey.

We ship to people trying to save their plants: houseplant collectors, gardeners, small growers.

Why no sprays. There are three parrots in this house: Toby and Mia, who hatched in 2013, and Rosco, who arrived in 2021. Birds and insecticide don't share a home, so the spray bottle was off the table here long before it was a business decision. Working out what to use instead is how we ended up with a warehouse of predators.

What we actually do. Predatory mites eat pest mites. Rove mites work the soil. Nematodes go after larvae. Each one has a pest it's good at and pests it does nothing for, and which is which comes from the published research rather than from whoever is selling it. When a study doesn't support a claim, we say so, including when the claim is one our own industry makes.

Everyone has pests. The plant world treats an infestation as a character flaw. It isn't. Pests arrive on new plants, through windows, in potting mix, in the best-kept collections there are. Karen goes live every week to answer pest questions in public, because the alternative, everyone quietly panicking alone, is how plants get lost.

Where we are. Hackettstown, New Jersey. Founded in 2005 by Karen Horn, who has grown and sold plants since 2004. The name is an homage to a rabbitry named in childhood: For-Get-Me-Not, spelled wrong, and kept that way.
