| Hi lizzianthus, Are you trying to promote plant sales with your beds? Or just sales in general? Or are your plans to sell from the beds? Farm stands offer a huge opportunity for ornamental plant sales. Ornamentals can offer a farm stand early sales and summer produce can offer extended sales for ornamentals. Bruce |

| Display gardens are a passion of mine but you really have to keep good records to see if it actually improves sales. My guess would be that a nice display garden will efficiently get the message across to anyone driving by about what you sell and who you are. There is no cheaper or better form of advertisement. But you can also make it work for you by harvesting product from it and selling from it directly. Understand that a spiffy display may not immediately improve cash flow - its affect will be in the long term. After people have seen it over and over. It will be the one thing they remember. |
