Good reference,

A very good reference and guide for anyone that has never started a small business before. He covers a variety of topics in detail, and even has examples of forms to use on a daily basis. Very helpful, and well written.

My Garden, My Life.,
By Molly Austin (Gruver, TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How to Start a Home-Based Landscaping Business (Paperback)
A true page turner. Does he - doesn't he? Yes! In the end he does make a living. This man could make a wilted Geranium sound interesting. Timeless in it's basic good advice and ahead of it's time tracking future horticultural trends. An inspiring and informative tome for anyone looking to make a lasting impression on their local landscape. A book you'll want to share with your friends. Fairly good as compost even.
