A one day class that will cover the Business of Gardening on Jan. 3 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
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.
Tom Smith teaches at Springfield Technical Community College. His past career adventures include precision machining, HVAC ductwork fabricator, installer and apprentice service technician, and the U.S. Navy. He also wore many 'hats' within a small landscape company as a designer, estimator, salesperson, horticulturist, and construction crew leader.
