Dig That Garden - About Us

The Dig That Garden web site has been developed by Pete and Davina Turner. We live in a 17th century cottage in the East Yorkshire village of Seaton Ross about 13 miles from York. We have recently moved from a a fairly small but perfectly formed garden to pretty much a blank canvas of just under an acre. We are both passionate about gardening and have been keen gardeners for more than 25 years in the various places we have lived around Yorkshire. The man of the house works in the Electronics Department at York University and the lady (ha) is a former civil servant but for the past 7 years has worked as Distribution Manager for Rolawn Ltd making sure that turf and bulk products are delivered on time throughout the UK. We've always aspired to a much larger garden but thought while working full time that it was probably impractical but now we have one I feel sure we can do it justice. From growing veg in containers we now have a substantial vegetable plot and have ordered a huge amount of seeds from Thompson and Morgan. Check the Blog for updates to see how we can on developing the garden and growing lots of fruit and vegetables. The motivation behind Dig That Garden is to try and make a bit of money from the advertisers but also to create a true Internet Garden Centre which we don’t think has really been done successfully yet. As the site develops we hope the ‘information’ element will become more and more comprehensive so that people will come to Dig That Garden as their first reference point to answer all their gardening questions. To this end if anyone wants to suggest how we can improve things then please let us know by clicking the 'contact us' links on any of our pages. Thanks for visiting Dig That Garden.
