The Bluum Story
Where We Started
The idea for Bluum’s selection of green roof garden stores was started after our founder, Dave Morgan, was embarking upon a new build house project. The council had stipulated that the property’s front garden must incorporate a bin store (to keep those ugly bins out of sight), and Dave was tasked with sourcing an aesthetically pleasing solution. It turned out there wasn’t anything suitable, readily available on the market.
Whilst there were a number of wheelie bin stores, recycling bin stores, log stores, garden sheds and garden tool storage solutions for sale, none of them were very pleasing to the eye. Dave therefore designed and constructed the first store, a triple bin store with a living green roof, back in 2013; this is still going strong and attracts many a comment from neighbours and passers-by. It even survived the new house being built right next to it, a temporary electricity supply being housed inside of it, and multiple tradespeople using it as a store and charging point for their tools.
Established in 2017
Bluum’s selection of green roof garden storage was then designed, tested and enhanced over the following years and now offers variants to suit all garden setups, as well as custom-built stores available for the trickier or more unusual client briefs. We opened our doors in 2017 and have produced thousands of garden storage products ever since.
