Answer 1

I would love to see Outdoor Rooms set up.
As we are treating are backyards more and more as another room of our house I,d like to see more items for that use. In one spot,one stop where I also pick up the rest of my gardening needs.

How nice it would be to able to pick up and choose different lighting,chairs,tables and accent pieces.

I'd like to see outdoor Candelabras,Plant Stands,Fountains,Outdoor Wall Decor,Beautiful Globes of Glass with stands or metallic embellishments for the garden.
Along with your usual stone benches,etc

A lot of these outdoor elements are brought indoors today.
I think that these would be elegant and unusual choices for gifts and appreciated by many of your clients.
Hope this helped, and good luck with your business!

We did this last year. Pottery has been suggested as has cut flowers. Pottery is fragile and cut flowers take alot of space and care to grow. I made some wind chimes and they sold but not all that great. Last year wasn't a very good year in my area, in fact it was the worst on record since they've been keeping records. If I could afford it I'd like to try a little statuary, trellis and similar things but, alas, can't do it all. I'd be interested in what others suggest. Good luck.

Answer 4

Gloves!!! I absolutely hate that the only place around my area to buy gloves only stock one size fits most for women and that size is too small. I would love to be able to come into a place, try on a size and walk away with something that fits relatively well. I know I'm willing to pay for quality too, and since you are attracting serious gardeners to your center, hopefully, we do serious work and wear out cheaply made gloves often.

Answer 5

Try bird feeders, bird baths, or bird houses. At a lot of garden centers I've been to they have bird houses made out of gourdes. Another thing to try is flower pots and seeds. Fertilizer would be good also. Statues would look nice also (cupids, etc...).

Answer 6

to respond to countless of the already revealed shop on with ups, too: Gardeners purchase Ladybugs as a non-chemical technique of controlling aphids on flowers. in case you stay contained in the united states and are on the fringe of both Lowes or living house Depot, you could puchase Ladybugs of their gardning middle. notwithstanding, they don't look to be in a plastic bag, yet fairly a mesh form bag. do not bypass feeling sorry for the insects being in such tight quarters now. each and every thing is relative. A malicious program gained't undergo in ideas a lot of what they did over the past minute, and their relative length makes it extra like an position of abode progression to them. you could also order Ladybugs on-line...merely google it!

Men aren’t “supposed” to seek out advice on how to get women or ask their friends how do I get a girl. We don’t sit around analyzing each other’s relationships. Still, picking up beautiful women is a skill that anyone can learn with enough time, practice, and access to the right resources. Read here https://tr.im/TYHbL
There is a ton of stuff ( to help you get started. Sometimes the techniques go against “conventional wisdom” or what seems to work in movies and romance novels. Push yourself out of your comfort zone and try them – they DO work and they are a huge advantage over the competition.

Answer 8

Seeds, pots, garden equipment, fertilizers, books, decorative items, hoses, drip irrigators, sachet holders (let me know when you get them), decorative items for pots, garden calendars, is this enough to get you focused?

Have a beginner or black thumb section (those easy to grow and to give a new gardener confidence) and a with hard to kill plants. A kitchen herb section would make it a perfect store for me.

Answer 9

My wife is hooked on cobalt blue pottery. Garden statuary items would do well. (Keep the gnomes separated from the fairies to avoid molestation). Christmas trees are a big seasonal item during a slow time of year.

Answer 10

pots and seed starting supplies, birdfeeders and birdhouses, BAThouses, planter boxes- plastic and wood, gift baskets of herb plants already started and ready to use- i sold over 100 mint baskets last summer. seeds, try some more unususal types instead of the usual "see at every store in town" kind, windchimes, especially handcrafted and original. seek out local craftspeople who will display their goods on consignment and look for high quality and unique items. anything for gardening- gloves, knee pads, tools. i sell bundles of stakes (4' long 2 x 4 stock cut into thin strips) and include a dollar store roll of twist ties with each bundle. also, with the cost of growing supplies, i offered plant buyers a small discount off their next purchase if they returned the plant trays and pots in usable condition. brought a lot of repeat business and allowed me to recycle a lot of my pots and trays!
