The Diggers Foundation was established in 2011 by Clive and Penny Blazey and their three children. The Blazey family gifted their family business -The Diggers Club - and its priceless properties, Heronswood, The Garden of St Erth and the Diggers Preservation Garden to this charitable Foundation to ensure that their lifelong work in the preservation of heirloom seeds, garden-worthy plants and the best organic gardening traditions will continue for future generations.
The Foundation is focussed on education, advocacy and preservation activities which inspire Australians to create beautiful and productive gardens for a sustainable future.
