About us - a little background

This isn't the place to bore you with detailed biographies, so here is just a little bit of relevant context:

Our software and web coding activity is now part-time and no longer run as a business, since down-sizing some years ago. Although non-profit, the Plant Base application is still developed and maintained on a best effort basis, along with other programs and several websites.

Deeproot Software was a spin-off from when we ran our garden design, construction and maintenance business. The original Plant Base was created as an in-house productivity tool for preparing planting proposals and documentation. Before that we had both worked in mainstream IT for many years.

We are based in Carmarthenshire, Wales, close to the beautiful Bannau Brycheiniog National Park. Much of our time is now spent working in our own garden and adjoining land. Our passion for plants and gardens is an aspect of long-held interest and respect for the natural world. We greatly value the landscape around us and try our best to help conserve it.
