Georgetowns Dominion Seed House on Guelph Street has been forced to layoff seven people for at least the summer said company VicePresident Dave Krause during an interview Fri day Calling the layoffs temporary Mr Krause said the employees should be hired back the late fall He explained the company is recession resistant because during tough economic times peo ple tend to spend more time at home and thus in the backyard As a result they want their gardens to look nice he said Dominion Seed House which was founded in Georgetown in 1928 is a mail order gardening business selling flower vegetable and miscellaneous seeds Mr attributes the layoffs to a restructuring of the company In the past the com pany has been run as a year- round operation However the truth is it is a seasonable
