About Us

Welcome to Discoveries In Gardening the Worldwide marketing company for Angel Moss products manufactured by Lakeview Moss Ltd in New Zealand. We began exporting into the USA in 2000 with only four products, namely 14” and 16” basket and liner sets and refill liners for both sizes. We were already exporting to the UK at this time. To begin with, our marketing manager from New Zealand spent about 6-9 months each year in the USA with our two telemarketers in New Zealand telephoning stores in USA to collect orders.

By 2002 we had added bulk moss, 3 sizes of hanging baskets and flat liners to our product range and increased our telemarketing team to four people including Blessing Hopeful and Serenity Valor. Peg Marston (leading horticulturist) was employed to trial products to ensure quality performance before we placed them on the market. Peg has conducted many trials for our unique products, the most recent being with Moss Marbles.

2003 brought the introduction of our agent network, beginning with Chuck Schiele in Midwest USA. This network has grown to a team of sixteen who cover the following States: Colorado, New Mexico, Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Iowa, Minnesota, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, and Florida.

In 2004 we branded our New Zealand moss as Angel Moss. This was one of the best decisions we made to differentiate our unique moss from other Sphagnum Mosses as it has much greater water holding capabilities.  New Zealand’s Sphagnum Moss has, for many years, been recognized in Japan as the world’s premium orchid growing medium. Also in 2004 we branched out to include the English Garden Range of Ironwork with Flat and Molded Angel Moss liners for the customer who wants premium quality, size and shape.

We seek to be innovative, so in 2004 we introduced the rigid chain, which has the up-market chain look and yet retains the rigidity of a wire hanger, thus providing ease of hanging. This addition was well accepted in the marketplace and is highly sought after. We have many customers now who will not use any hanger other than our patent pending rigid chain.

In 2005 we introduced our Twig Range, made in China, which has proven to be a great seller and highly sought after in the USA. Each year we add to this range and prune off any items that are not top sales items for our company.

New for 2006 were the first of our molded Angel Moss liners to fit grower baskets. We at Discoveries In Gardening are always striving to find ways to make life easier for the commercial grower by saving labor, and by speeding up the time needed in the greenhouse from planting till readiness for sale, thereby saving heating costs.

To date each year we have brought in something new. Such as a merchandising kit along with cone stands, brackets, and hanging basket stands in many styles.

Our dedicated team is committed to providing good quality, easy to use, environmentally friendly products. Many customers and agents have made positive comments concerning the service they receive when phoning our Discoveries In Gardening office. We are happy to serve our customers to the best of our ability and hope for every success in the future.
