Starting my own business?


Hi Friends! I am calling on your support, please. My Mom came to me this weekend with the terrific idea of starting my own business. The current idea is to have a business where I could go to people's houses and help them start gardens with and for their kids. I would help them get everything designed, planted, and ready with their kids. After that they would be in charge of maintaining their garden unless they wanted to pay for further consultation (but I wouldn't want to be their regular gardener).

A fun addition that I was was thinking about was that plant a theme gardens in addition to/instead regular vegetable or flower gardens. Potential theme gardens include: fairy garden, animal/zoo garden, Native American garden, A-Z garden, 6-plant part burrito garden, fort garden, etc. Any other theme ideas?

Also, I am hoping that you can help me with a name for my business/domain name. I really like the idea of "Let's Get Growing" as a business name. That name is not, however, available for a website domain name. Here are some potential website domain names that seem to be available:

gardeneducation.com
enchantinggardens.org
organicgardeneducation.com
kidgardens.net/org
organickidgardens.com
getgrowingorganic.com
getgrowingorganic.com

If you have ideas for a domain name you can test its availability here: http://instantdomainsearch.com/

Also, here is a template that I was thinking of for my website here. What do you think? Is it too childish and not professional enough?

I am completely open, and thankful for any suggestions for the name, website name, website organization, business idea, etc. of my potential future business.

THANK YOU!!!
