                Hello! I'm Kimberly Smith,
                (Master Gardener/Coach)

              Do you have questions about
             starting your own greenhouse?

      My husband and I started our own
      greenhouse business over 20 years ago.  
      Although we have a very successful
      business, the first few years were 
      extremely challenging. We learned many 
      things by trial and error. Over the years
      we gained an abundance of knowledge.  
      Today I am sharing that knowledge with 
      others.                                                    
     
       If you have questions or need help
       getting started, you may be interested
       in my virtual courses.

      
       Knowing where to start can be
       overwhelming! That's where I can help!

       I'm excited to share my knowledge with
      you during one on one virtual meetings.       
       Below you will find everything we will    
       discuss during our meeting.

 

 



   The following is what we will cover:

   Getting started with horticultural companies:

   Choosing a wholesale brokerage company 

   Setting up wholesale accounts wiht brokerage companies

   Working with a representative for the brokerage co.

   Choosing what growing stations to order from

   Placing wholesale orders

   How many plants, trays and pots my greenhouse will hold

    Starting a greenhouse business:                           
   One hour meeting via Microsoft Teams
   One on one coaching
   $68.00
 

    The following is step by step of how it works:

   1.     email me at greenhousecoaching@yahoo.com. We will discuss a time that works
        best for both of us. 
       
   2.     I will send you an ivoice to pay prior to the meeting. The invoice will be paid through
        Paypal. You do not have to have a Paypal account to pay the invoice. There is an
        option to pay with your debit/credit card.... or your paypal account if you have one.

   3.     Once the invoice is paid, I will send you a link to Microsoft Teams or Zoom
        that will connect us at the time we agreed for the meeting to be held
