Meet the GrowVeg.com Team

Jeremy Dore is a computer programmer and a keen organic gardener. In 2004 he dug up his front lawn to plant vegetables and he has been hooked ever since. His interest in organic gardening led to him developing our powerful Garden Planning Tool. Jeremy’s favourite vegetables are freshly-picked cherry tomatoes which he chops with basil and garlic for a fantastic bruschetta topping.

Jayne Dore is director of the company and keeps an eye on the strategy and planning as well as more mundane jobs such as correcting Jeremy's spelling! She likes fresh salad leaves tossed with spring onion, radish and balsamic vinegar.

Barbara Pleasant is an award-winning garden writer in the US who has written our growing information for American subscribers (things sure are different across the pond!) A contributing editor for Mother Earth News and The Herb Companion magazines, Barbara has written more than a dozen gardening books including The Complete Compost Gardening Guide (Storey Books, 2008). She grows a huge food garden in Virginia, where her favorite crops are whatever happens to be perfect for picking on any given day.

Kate Bradbury produces articles for our GrowGuides section. She has written for Grow Your Own magazine and now works for BBC Gardener's World.com. Kate likes to grow broad beans and beetroot on her allotment and loves to eat them freshly picked with a potato salad and some chopped chives.

Kathy Benzinski also writes for our GrowGuides section. She works both as a gardener and as an experienced editor/writer. She lives in the countryside and, apart from the family garden, cultivates a small field, where she has planted an orchard and grows herbs and vegetables in an organic plot. She loves onions and garlic, because the badgers and rabbits tend to leave them to grow.

Steve Lancaster edits our website content while the rest of the company are asleep, having recently emigrated to Australia with his family. Steve writes for Organic Gardening magazine in Australia and is head chef at a vegetarian restaurant in Adelaide. His favourite vegetables are hot chilli peppers served as an accompaniment to almost anything.
