Making Your Green Thumb a Business

Ever thought how nice it would be if all the hard work you put in to your landscaped gained you something a little more rewarding than the ‘oohs’ and ‘aahs’ of your neighbors? Now you can. Follow a few easy tips and make more than you ever bargained for by using your green thumb as a business.

If you’ve spent a fortune on your landscape and it turned out exactly as you wanted it to, you might consider renting it out for television or movie shoots. Hey, at least your landscape would’ve been on TV! You could also consider hosting events on your landscaped area such as small weddings or other important celebrations. Before you attempt at letting strangers in to your landscape though make sure that your insurance covers any liability costs that could occur in order to truly make a profit from your venture.

If you have a more modest landscaped area then you might consider selling the produce you get from it. Grow a little extra fruit, vegetables and maybe try a rare herb that is in demand and sell it in a little stand near you. You’ll be surprised at how fast they will be snatched up by vendors. You could also sell any excess plants that you have to a nearby nursery. They are always looking for less common plants to sell.
