Story

People often ask where our business name came from... “Which one of you is Myrtle?” I have to explain that I chose the name Myrtle & Me to express my close affinity with this gentle giant of the rainforest. There is truly something magical about exploring the forest and encountering a large Myrtle towering in the mist. These trees can live up to 500 years and can be seen in all sizes, from little shrubs to woodland behemoths. Their distinctive leaves which often form a fairytale carpet on the forest floor, makes for an unforgettable experience.
