gardening as a profession

Hi All;

I've noted through the posts that many of you own your own garden related
businesses - landscaping, nurseries, etc. When considering what I'd like
to do as a 'job' (youngest will be in school full time next year),
gardening seems the most obvious choice since it is where time that is
spent is most effortless and enjoyable.

Can those of you with business experience share something about how you
got started, best lesson learned, biggest 'learning experiences' (some
would call 'mistakes'). Were courses like the certificate programs
offered by the New York Botanical Garden helpful at all?  My youngest's
part time school schedule this year will give me a little free time to
study up and prepare but it would be nice to know where to begin.

You may post to me privately if you'd like...

Thanks,

Carmel Matsushita
