A one day class that will cover the Business of Gardening. The question that is often stressful for the garden designer/gardener is “how much should I charge?” Learn how to value your work, estimate supplies, and strategize the overall proposal in order to avoid under or over charging clients. Also learn about staffing, management and incorporating a diverse and inclusive work environment. Taught by Tom Smith of Springfield Technical Community College.
