About

My name is James Costello and I have been growing foliage for over 20 years. For a long time my aim was to produce large volumes of safe varieties for the mass markets. But like all growers the real excitement comes from figuring out how to grow something that nobody else can or finding a unique variety that grows particularly well in your area.

In 2018, I set up Irish Green Guys to provide a bespoke range of unique foliages for florists who are looking for ways to differentiate their offering. We offer over 40 varieties of foliage and a huge selection of pre made garlands designed to save florists time and money.

When I am not out in fields I am generally found coaching Gaelic football, hill walking or doing what my wife and 5 children (yes 5!) tell me  to do.

Grading

All our foliage is graded exactly to length allowing florists to cost it easily and use it much faster.

Quality

All our harvesters are trained to only select absolute premium stems to give as much value as possible.
