Mark's Gardening Franchise Business

This is my second summer season with Ed's and I am enjoying being in the driving seat so much. I feel like I have learned an amazing amount since I started with Ed's. It's hard to believe that it was only last year. This business really works for me and I am glad I had the courage to make the leap from my teaching career.

It's a huge thing to set up and run your own gardening business. You put a lot of yourself into your business and you get a great sense of achievement when you can see it developing really well. Being part of a successful franchise makes it all feel less overwhelming. You know there is a steady pair of hands to catch you and that makes all the difference. I find the business coaching particularly valuable. It has made a big contribution to me getting off to a flying start.

I had a long and successful teaching career before joining Ed’s. I had no shortage of passion for teaching English but it was time for a change. The challenge I had was to find a second career that I could throw myself into in the same way as I had with teaching. I’ve always loved gardening and the outdoors and running a gardening business was the option that appealed to me most of all. It felt like a very logical shift from nurturing children to nurturing gardens. The franchise route suited me as teaching had a lot of financial security and I wanted to minimise the risks of setting up and running a new business. The quality of the franchise I would join was very important to me and Ed’s stood out from the start. I’m just starting my training and can’t wait to start to build my brand new business this spring. For me Ed’s fits the bill to the letter!
