I had no shortage of passion for teaching English but it was time for a change for me.  I wanted a second career. It&#8217;s true that there were lots of alternative careers I could consider. However, the challenge for me was that  I had was to find one that I could throw myself into in the same way as I had with teaching. I\u2019ve always loved gardening and the outdoors and running a gardening business was the option that appealed to me most of all. Finally, it felt like a very logical shift from nurturing children to nurturing gardens.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Ed&#8217;s?&#8230;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Well, my logic ran as follows. 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. Furthermore, the quality of the franchise I would join was very important to me.  And so,  Ed\u2019s stood out from other gardening franchises right from the start. It really wasn&#8217;t a very difficult decision to make. Currently,  I\u2019m just starting my training and can\u2019t wait to start to build my brand new business this spring. For me, Ed\u2019s fits the bill to the letter! I am so looking forward to having everything in place and to get out and start gardening.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/edsgardenbusinessfranchise.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/9d6ec28e-21b4-67f2-392d-e0300a49f9dc-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-post-1938 wp-image-1943\" srcset=\"https:\/\/edsgardenbusinessfranchise.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/9d6ec28e-21b4-67f2-392d-e0300a49f9dc-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/edsgardenbusinessfranchise.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/9d6ec28e-21b4-67f2-392d-e0300a49f9dc-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/edsgardenbusinessfranchise.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/9d6ec28e-21b4-67f2-392d-e0300a49f9dc-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/edsgardenbusinessfranchise.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/9d6ec28e-21b4-67f2-392d-e0300a49f9dc.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>We wish Mark all the very best with his new business.
