Our parents taught us to give credit where credit is due.
Well, there are many people that deserve credit for this site.
First and foremost, John and Kelly Schroeder who started their first nursery in Abbotsford, British Columbia in 1980. That modest little nursery was called Valleybrook Gardens. Today John, Kelly and a team of dedicated, professional staff in Abbotsford, British Columbia, Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario and Earleville, Maryland, take great pride in growing the premium brand of perennials you know and enjoy as Heritage Perennials. Their perseverance through tough economic times, managing growth and surviving the wrath of mother nature, is testimony to their character and passion for what they do.
Special thanks and kudos also go to John Valleau, horticulturist extraordinare, and Brenda Goodfellow. Their commitment to the development of this site were a great inspiration to our team of graphic artists, programmers and project managers. Their insights on perennial gardening, customer needs and attention to detail will continue to drive the improvement of this site well into the future.
Of course, and most importantly, a very special thanks to the fine retail garden centres that carry and support the Heritage brand of perennials. Without their support and belief in the quality of the Heritage brand, you the consumer would never be able to enjoy these fine plants in your gardens. We thank them and look forward to their continued support over the coming years.
Finally, we at eBO2 thank all of the above participants for giving us the opportunity to work on such and exciting and challenging project.
Best regards and happy gardening,
The eBO2 team
