OUR STORY
The Atlantic has played a pretty significant role in founder Guy Grieve’s life. From living at sea aboard a boat with his family to working as a scallop diver for 12 years running the Ethical Shellfish Company in the waters surrounding his former island home on Mull.
As a scallop diver many of his dives would end up in the shallows as he spun out the last of his air. And often he would find himself swimming through kelp forests, quite literally, as the sun set. These beautiful and mysterious underwater forests left a profound impression upon him, which he has never forgotten.
Twinned with his love of the Atlantic, gardening has always been a passion, especially when it comes to his veggie patch. And so he founded Atlantic Garden, motivated by these two loves; the sea and gardening.
Scotland’s best known hunter gatherer, Guy Grieve, has appeared in multiple TV shows including Channel 4’s The Wild Gourmets and the Discovery Channel’s The Hunger: Death Race. Guy is the author of two books: Call of the Wild and Sea Legs.

high quality products
Our compost is free from any nasties, and contains only two ingredients. 80% leaves, stems, grass cuttings and sticks from the Scottish lowlands. 20% seaweed from the Scottish coastline.
We shred and compost these two natural ingredients before forming composting windrows, which are turned periodically to aerate for a period of 180 days.
Simple. Seaweed-enriched superfood for your garden.
