Diggit Garden Tools
Lawn & Garden Equipment in Bellevue, WA
Diggit. Was born out of a mother and son collaboration between Elena and Paul Shemeta of the Seattle area. This NW duo's 1st gardening tool hit the market in 1997 at Seattle's Fremont Sunday Market. It had a black handle and the advertising was a piece of cardboard with magic marker that said weeding tool $5. 00. They sold out of all 10 diggit tools they'd brought to the market that day. While Paul was tasked with the refinement of the tool and the fabrication process, he credits Elena for the establishment of Diggit. It was Elena who was responsible for the initial concept and the drive to get it to market.
