Re: You Love To Garden--Are You Ready To Turn Pro?

Go Roberta!

This is a wonderful turn to see, and it's nice to read about. I made the plunge from landscape crew leader/supervisor for a full service nursery about 15 yrs ago, when I moved from Bend Oregon to Sandpoint N.Idaho, and have never looked back.

Roberta will find there is much joy in bringing people beauty right outside their doors, or when they look out any window. Many of my clients become gardeners, even without the intent at the time we meet... It's wonderful to see that transformation.

A hint for Roberta, with her beautiful grounds... Open them up to prospective and return clients, and/or get on the local annual garden tour. My partner and I run a small nursery with sales on weekends, and we open up the 6 acres of gardens when we do sales, and this often ends up with new clients doing design work, or even a full install. The point being that prospective clients see your work, and gets their juices flowing...

Once again, GO Roberta! We're with you!
