It seems the whole world is stuck in limbo waiting for the current financial turmoil to settle. Being without direction is never comfortable and we’re all anxious to know what shape our lives will take in the aftermath of all this.
One thing which is for certain is that life goes on. There will be people and homes and businesses. And the newfound public awareness of green issues is unlikely to disappear. Having been slapped so hardly in the face by the build-up of materialism, the instinct to live in closer harmony with the natural environment could come to the fore in a big way.
The current trend for bringing nature closer to home (especially grow-your-own food) could be amplified by the present situation, as people with less money to spend outside the home turn their attention towards improving what’s in it.
So while many are still waiting and wondering, I’m seizing the moment to initiate a new project that will tune in with modern day lifestyles and bring gardening to the people. A project that will make it easy for non-gardeners to enjoy plant life in their homes, encouraging new spend into our industry and providing work opportunities for many knowledgeable individuals.
The name of this project is Plant Concierge, to be found at plantconcierge.com.
Plant Concierge will take a multi-faceted approach to facilitating gardening activity within homes of ‘non-gardeners’. And let’s face it, this is a far bigger target group than the one we traditionally go after. As the project develops there will be opportunities for retailers and product suppliers to get involved, but for now I am looking for gardening advisors, designers, gardeners and landscapers to come forward as service providers.
If you or anybody you know wants to take advantage of this opportunity for free publicity of your services then please go to www.plantconcierge.com and register as a service provider.
