SweetViolets is a partnership between Shenandoah Valley African violet enthusiasts Rich Follett and Eric Ensley, who met through the Shenandoah Saintpaulia Society (a local African violet enthusiasts’ club). Rich is a National Board certified High School English teacher who enjoys writing and performing original folk music and acting in professional (Regional) theatre productions. Eric is a military veteran, certified automobile technician and expert carpenter/home handyman. Both live in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley, about 70 miles apart at the north and south ends. We hope someday to become full-time African violet vendors with a greenhouse of our own. For the moment, though, it's a two-basement operation! Thank you for visiting our website – we pride ourselves on high-quality plants and personal, professional customer service.
