If I had to start my garden business from scratch, I would start by selling garden workshops that teach people how to make these people love being invited to a party. They also love hands on learning and they love a quick easy win. And this garden workshop teaching people how to grow herbs in a container satisfies all three. I would charge 100 to $150 per workshop ticket. This would cover all the expenses to help everyone make their own Container Garden plus cover the workshop expenses and leave me with 50 to $100 profit per per ticket. If you do the math, that means you only need about 10 people to come to the workshop in order to clear a thousand dollars profit.
