Reid’s Place owes its very existence to earthworms. It was in the early 1980’s Rob and Beth Reid started a little business called Earthworm Composting Systems. To prove how efficient these little fellows were at composting, they set about to make the garden so impressive, people would buy the worms.
It wasn’t the most lucrative of cottage industries, however, Rob and Beth are passionate gardeners and loved every minute they spent in their Scarborough gardens. But instead of worm customers driving up to their residence on Scarborough Road most weekends, a limousine or wedding car would pull up, and bridal parties would stand in the gardens for photos.
As you can imagine Beth & Rob Reid were chuffed that anyone would think it nice enough for wedding photos. In 1995, an engaged couple knocked on their front door and begged to let them have their wedding ceremony in the gardens. The rest as they say, is history.
