About AcrossTheGardenFence.Com

Hello and Welcome!

The garden fence has been a meeting place for friends and neighbors for generations. There was no better place to go to get advice or assistance with a problem or a project. I hope you will meet me and share your needs "Across the Garden Fence." I will do my best to be a worthy neighbor.

The items for sale on this site all come from the industrial world. They are used in manufacturing plants for the safety and protection of workers. Their quality, comfort and dexterity are critical to their performance in these settings. I sold safety supplies to these plants, but after thirty plus years and the arrival of my first grandchild, I decided it was time to slow down and make time to enjoy life. I wanted to sell to a different market - the home gardener.

My wife, Dianne, had also retired and was avidly pursuing her love of gardening, both as a hobby and as a second profession. Through her I got to know gardeners of all types and found that they had a need for quality gloves. I began supplying them with garden gloves, listening to their needs to find the right product, and developed a base of regular customers. When they started referring others to me, I realized that it was time to expand and this site was begun to help people in the home and garden.

I began evaluating other safety products for their usefulness in the garden and found that my products often performed better than many of the general purpose items found at garden centers. So safety glasses, hearing protection, kneeling pads and clothing, all designed for industrial use, were added to the gloves. The garden tools are the most recent addition to the product line. They are from a supplier in the San Joaquin valley in California, the bread basket of this country. They have proven their worth in these fields and should perform as well for you.

New products will be added from time to time, as I find items that seem worthwhile. If you have a specific need, be it garden gloves, garden tools or other items for the home and garden, please let me know and I'll see if I can supply the product that will meet your need. I look forward to seeing you "Across the Garden Fence."
