Landscaping classes?

I've got a few ideas for fun and profit.

I was envisioning a landscaping school where people could learn more about what plants go with what plants! Also I thought it would be cool to teach people how plants grow.

Also I'm working on a landscaping application that would teach residents of South Florida all about plants and trees. Seems like a cool idea.

Not big profit...but big fun!

I did two jobs this week for old customers for not a lot of money, but they were fun!

My two employees performed well today. We did 104 green island ficus and sod work with soil work. Two separate jobs.

We were working out there in the mid-day sun. Hot as hell!

Nearly three years...Plants From Paradise is growing up. I've learned a lot. I've got two great employees. I've got a powerful truck, a 20' trailer, a 10' trailer. Some capital to invest and everything is paid off.

So I've had success. It's been fun, most of all. Perhaps there are many other ways to a great fortune. But I'm in love with the act of planting trees.

Academics and physical activity. The contemplative and the active. Yin and yang, I suppose.
