John's family history
Henry Knight 1867 - 1955
Henry Knight was johns
great grandfather and designed gardens in East Yorkshire, Kent and
the South of France.
Henrys work in the garden
is unknown to me but I would love to, one day see something he
designed and built. Pictured below is Henry and my mother's sister
"Jean Hubbard" and Pip the dog in his
garden in Withernsea near Hull, where he finally retired.
Fred Woodhouse 1898 - 1979
Fred who was my
grandfather lived in Hull all his life and was an avid gardener as
well as head of the allotments society and prize grower of
Chrysanthemums.
Fred pictured above
receiving a prize for his flowers even later on in his life.
Pat Cavill 1933 - 1999
Pat was my mother and
was also an avid gardener with a degree in Horticulture gained at
Bishop Burton. Pat also ran the allotment society in Hull plus
market gardens before moving to Barton where she was always out in
the garden doing something!
If Pat was still alive
today, she would without a doubt be out gardening with me and
advising on the best way to grow everything.
Harry Cavill - 1932 to present day!
Harry is my father and
also an expert gardener. His Strawberries and Tomatoes are grown in
abundance each year and are legendary in taste. harry used to grow
prize Dahlias and has been helping immensely with my dahlia beds in
customers gardens each year.
Harry answers the phone
to most of my customers and is great for gardening advice should you
need any! |
