At last, summer is at hand. Gone are the dreary days of chapped lips and limited sunlight, and back are the balmy afternoons stippled with the sights and scents of a vibrant garden. The winter months are difficult to weather for the gardening enthusiast, but the summer presents a real return to form – and also an opportunity to meaningfully monetise your hobby. But why start a gardening business? And what could you do?

Garden work, whatever the discipline, can often be incredibly hands-on. Landscaping and horticulture alike are great substitutes for exercise, giving you a regular work-out and keeping you fit. Heavier tasks from tree surgery to patio construction will also give you an opportunity to develop a bit of muscle.

In working with gardens, you will get to spend a great majority of your time outdoors. The summer months are a dream to spend outside when the sun’s blazing – and If you’re an outdoors-y or adventurous person, the inevitable bouts of bad weather won’t bother you at all.

Clients will often pay a premium for the convenience of a garden professional alone – whether that profession is construction, landscaping or horticulture. As such, starting up a garden business can be an incredibly lucrative way to apply your passions and knowledge.

One of the most beautiful things about starting your own business, whatever the business, is that you are ultimately in control of your own working patterns. Your clients may have preferences for when you carry out work, but you get to arrange your day accordingly – or even refuse, if a job doesn’t fit your favoured schedule.

For someone with a creative streak and a relatively strong arm, hedge artistry can be a brilliant way to utilise your skill. It is also highly lucrative, with a range of potential clients from proud homeowners to large private estates and public gardens. Overheads are also pleasingly low, as you’d need little more than a cordless hedge trimmer to get started.

If you have a little more pedigree in the horticultural field, you can extend your services as a garden consultant – again a lucrative path with a wide range of potential clients. Your knowledge of plants, flowers and shrubbery can lend you well to helping estates plan their flowerbeds, while a little creative direction for private homeowners can help them achieve the garden of their dreams.

Landscape architects are a little more involved – and a little more technical – than garden consultants. With more of an engineering approach to gardens, you can help clients realise patio and decking layouts as well as outdoor structures and garden topography.

For a lower-stress vocation in gardening, you could situate yourself as a garden caretaker for households – whether for second homes or just for the holidays. Simply ensuring plants and flowers are well-nurtured in their owners’ absence can give you a little pocket money, and more time to engage with the things you love.
