Looking for gardeners

**e*@aol.com**

I've often thought that garden consultation and designing would be a real joy.? However, most people want their plans installed, which usually requires?quite a bit?of manual labor.? I'm not afraid of heavy lifting mind you, but if you have more than one project going it's simply not practicable.? So then?you need to have access to a work force that you can subcontract to and supervise.? And then, how do you price the project?? A la carte: hourly consultation, design fee, labor, installation, materials?

Here in Charlotte, a rosarian has a "practice" called The Rose Doctor.? He does weekly tending of customers' rose gardens, plus added services.? A great gig?for the burbs where you can gain economies of scale.
