Thank you Gail and Bobbie for your generous help thus far...

so far I only have a 20x50 city garden most of which is lawn for the
kids. I have about 160 perennials crammed in there and started a garden
club in my community with about 15 members, mostly to give away my orphan
baby plants.

This brings a good question...when people have become used to you giving
away plants, how do you now go about charging something for them?

Back to the topic though...I have done alot of home research about
growing things, soil, design etc, and am very sure that a lanscape
business is not the direction I want to go in. I enjoy designing gardens
and I designed my own to suit my tastes but wonder if I could be
sucessful at doing the same for others. I think I could handle
propagating plants with my current level of skill and I enjoy working
with people and explaining how to care for planr\ts so the retail aspect
of the busieness is right up my alley. Garden photography is also a
related interest that may be useful.

I would like to start small, from my own backyard, but have no idea where
to begin. I wouldn't mind taking a class or two but I wouldn'y want to
waste any time with a whole curriculum that does not have practical
applications in the real world.

What do you think...


TIA
