MIXING BUSINESS WITH PLEASURE

According to new research from Barclays Local Business, a substantial number of people are starting up their own business in the gardening and horticulture services sector.

The research found that keen gardeners whose office job allows them little time to devote to their hobby are now starting up their own business in the gardening and horticulture services sector instead!

The south-east, east and East Midlands lead the way in the start-up gardening services sector.

It appears that retired people are also looking to supplement their pensions by earning money from gardening - 1,400 businesses were started in the gardenng sector by those aged 65 and over during 2007!
