Growing a Natural Garden Design Business

Hosted by: Benjamin Vogt | Prairie Up, Ben O’Brien | Wild by Design, Ben Futa | Botany

Have you ever thought of starting a side hustle creating natural, plant-based gardens for others – or even diving headlong into a career change, wondering if it’s even feasible? What about leaving another firm and starting your own? And just exactly how do you do all of that?

In this half-day seminar learn from three independent business owners who will pull back the curtain on everything from forming an LLC to insurance and payroll, to sourcing and managing plant inventories and finding contractors, to communicating successfully with clients about design, install, and management, and finally how to price and market your services while fostering multiple revenue streams. And yes, we’ll also explore hard lessons and help you try to navigate some of the growing pains, including the never-ending imposter syndrome.

What will be a unique aspect of this event is the coffee-shop-style conversation in which all three business owners will openly discuss single topics, followed by Q&A after each segment, before moving on to the next subject. This organic back and forth will provide for more authentic and empowering information as you start, grow, or pivot your career.
