Business Plan
I plan on excelling my business on the commercial side dramatically through appealing to businesses and local companies and their need to have an attractive landscape and/or containers around their facility. I would also create camps/educational classes for school age children to enhance their learning in how to build, plant, & grow. This requires focus, discipline, & gives opportunity for self esteem, achievements & saving money by growing your own food. I plan to accrue a couple more employees and another company vehicle and more essential small equipment. Because I am a mother & local female owned business owner with the dream and desire to help my community in any way I can and the feel the responsibility to do so. Having a beautiful landscape and flowers on a property can change the way people perceive the environment . It makes people happy and and that is so important in todays world, especially with our future generations. Unfortunately, with a small business, money is needed to achieve certain things and to grow in certain areas. This assistance would change my abilities to become more active in my advertising and therefore, create more business, contributing to the economy in my own way.

Self Identified Competition
My top 3 competitors are big nonlocal landscape companies that gain business from small local businesses; this takes away from small businesses like mine, that put money back into the community. My other competitors are homeowners that do their own landscape work. Another competitor is inflation! With the price increase of gas, materials, products, it is difficult to be profitable! I am different because I would put the money back into the community by conducting the instructional programs. Also, I am an affordable, experienced , professional, and motivated business owner that truly loves her town and what she does!!
