The picture of the ‘little gardening lady’ is two-year old Anya Granberg, a fifth generation descendant of the founder of the Company, S.A. Early! Anya is Early’s version of a true ‘ cabbage patch’ doll and thanks to Early’s loyal customer, Don Robertson (Robertson Valley Farm), where the photo was taken, is also indicative that gardening is for all ages! Anya is the daughter of 2 Andrea Early (Fourth Generation) and Dr. Eric Granberg and along with her family, is looking forward to a great gardening year in 2012!
