I first came across marimo whilst working in Seoul, South Korea, in 2017.
I was in Doré Doré, a cake shop in the Sinsa district, and they told me it was their pet and a symbol of affection and good luck.
When I got back to England I bought myself a marimo to pop on my desk and remind me of my visits to South Korea. Work mates started asking for them, I was giving them as gifts, and soon I realised that everyone likes marimo.
So we, me and team marimo, Jack (13) and Maisy (10), decided that we should give everyone* the chance to have their own marimo and Hello Marimo was born.
We hope you love them as much as we do.
:D
