This business idea might be for you if you enjoy growing flowers, especially if you have a certain specialty flower that you have great success with.
One of the keys to having a successful business is finding a niche and servicing it well.
And if you love to garden and are looking for a creative business idea, why not put your gardening skills to work?
My little town has established a mission to become the “Day Lily” city.
People are planting day lilies around town in their yards and along the street boulevards.
And many other cities have their own favorites, as do people.
If you wanted to specialize in a certain flower such as day lilies, you could have a business cultivating them and selling them.
You could start out small just selling at local farmers markets and plant sales, and then if you have the room perhaps expand into online sales and even supplying plant nurseries.
You would definitely have to have the skills and temperament to manage the details and shipping logistics involved though.
You could have your own annual plant sale every year too. A neighbor of mine did just that for many years before she passed away.
Another variation of this idea if you have a lot of flowers is to sell them at local farmer’s markets.
Our local farmer’s market has a gladiola seller every summer and the flowers are stunning!
You would have to think about this idea some more but if you have the flowers or are willing to start them, you could cultivate some income from them.
There are also many people who would love to have a garden, but either do not have a green thumb or sufficient time to do the gardening.
So, you can offer your services to come and plant your specialty flowers.
This could also expand into caring for the flowers too, and offering spring and fall services to separate and mulch the flowers if needed.
This could definitely be a great home based business idea if you have the land to grow beautiful flowers.
And what a lovely way to make money too!
You could also
create a website
about your specialty flowers to give you more exposure within your local area.
Include lots of information and photos about the flower and also your rates for the flowers, rates for planting and care services and also local venues where your flowers can be purchased.
You should also list prices for shipping if you decide to offer that option, or even delivery costs within a certain area.
If you love flowers, think about the possibilities for making some income doing something you love, and making other people happy too.
