Frivolous products like these keep on appearing — undoubtedly because manufacturers know that most gardeners are women. In fact, Lee Valley has developed something of a cult following among longtime gardeners (and also woodworkers) because they seem to have figured out exactly what will interest us. Their marketing savvy can be directly attributed to Lee Valley’s conscientious founder, Leonard Lee, who died recently at the age of 77. Lee Valley now sells online to thousands of both Americans and Canadians, and has also mushroomed to 18 retail stores, located from Victoria to Halifax. Way to go, Lee Valley.
