Dear Folks,
I have known Andrew Greaves for a couple of years. He has a passion for edible landscaping. He has been working in landscaping and is working on starting his own business. To that end he has a survey which will give him some foundation for what people are looking for in a backyard garden and the effort involved.
Copy and paste the entire list and email to Andrew with your answers and any additional questions you may have. If you will never want a backyard (balcony or patio) garden just ignore this request and have a best day. If you know someone who is looking to have a garden now or in the future, please share this post with them.
You are making no commitments by answering this survey.
Thank you,
Catherine

I would like to introduce you to One of the endeavors ( and a survey YEAH SO FUN!) I have been pursuing for quite some time. I am building a business in which I design, install, maintain, and troubleshoot edible gardens for people.
IF YOU WERE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE A GARDEN (ZERO MAINTENANCE ON YOUR PART) IN YOUR BACKYARD, WOULD YOU ENTERTAIN THE IDEA OF HAVING THAT GARDEN?
Possible benefits of having the garden would be lower grocery bills, fresher higher quality produce, health benefits too numerous to list, beautiful serenity in your yard,
1. What is the name of a fruit or vegetable that would be readily consumed in your household and would be difficult to produce enough of?
2. What frustrates you about your yard?
3. What frustrates you about your garden, if you have one?
4. How concerned are you about the health of the produce you eat? On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the highest.
5. If you do have a garden, are you happy with it or is it a source of frustration for you? NO? skip this question.
In order to answer the next few questions, I feel that you need to understand completely how my business works. For example, you would like to have a garden, but a number of factors hold you back from getting the garden you want, either you don’t have the time, energy and/or knowledge to dedicate to the garden which you would like, but you do recognize that there are many health benefits to eating fresh produce. Therefore, you rely on me in order to design, install, maintain, and troubleshoot your garden for optimal healthy produce. Your participation level in the gardening process is completely up to you.
6. Have you ever heard of a business like mine and if you remember the name of that business, what is the name of it?
7. What following aspects of a business would entice you to spend money with a business like mine? scale of 1-10
--------Pictures of successful garden projects
---------Testimonials from past or current clients
---------Video explanation of how my business works
---------Literary (aka worded) explanation of how my business works
---------Other
8. What is your preferred method of communication for communicating with the businesses that you do business with?
--------text
--------email
--------social media
---------hard to say, depends on what type of business
---------telephone
---------other
Thank you for your time,
– Andrew Greaves
