John Valleau's new venture
It's time to let our readers know that I am now officially part-time with Valleybrook Gardens, a decision that our owner John Schroeder and myself reached not too long ago. The reason is that my partner Alan and I have just started a brand-new shop in our home here in Jordan Village, outside of St Catharines, ON. We are selling spinning wheels, spinning fibres of all kinds as well as my own line of hand-dyed yarns under the brand name of DYEGUY™. Our shop is called, appropriately, The Fibre Garden. Some of the yarns are pictured above, or you are most welcome to view what we're up to over on my Flickr Page.
I will still be continuing with newsletters and very much behind-the-scenes here, writing descriptions for perennials which you will find on our plant tags as well as on our websites. Always I will have a passion for helping others to become better gardeners, so I am not bidding farewell at all, simply beginning a whole new direction with another passion. Change is sometimes scary but often a good thing!
