Hello there and Welcome.

Hello and welcome.

 

Hi and Welcome.

I'm sure most on here will tell you. "Gardening is a job for life."

"A good gardener is hard to find."

Many uninformed people hire gardening contractors to come in and "do the gardening for them." This often means a two or three man team have quick wizz round with a mower and strimmer a "blow" with a garden vac and they're off in less than half an hour. The best can be said for their efforts, is that it'll look tidy.

But someone with knowledge, who is capable of recognising plants from weeds and able to plan a yearly programme for specific gardens isn't that common.

A keen gardening friend who was made redundant from his office job, set up on his own. He is in that much demand he has now more work than he can manage, all from recommendations. So he won't take on any more customers.
He charges a fair price and makes a reasonable living from it.

But it's really hard work.

Best of luck!
