No matter where I wander, I find city gardens with loads of personality. Nancyland in Portland OR is one of the best examples. Here’s a garden that grabs you by the eyeballs and says, hi, this is my world and I hope ya’ll like it.
Hold on tight, ‘cos your eyes will dart from the mosaic pebble welcome mat built into the public sidewalk and the house numbers spelled out in flowerpots to the hundreds of tiny, kitchy touches in the back garden and the many whimsical nooks and crannies. Nancy sure knows how to put personality into her garden — and it looks like sooo much fun!

Have you heard anything about this gadget?

soil tester, and plant advisor. A gimmick, or a reallly useful tool?
Hi Dmitry,
There are plenty of gadgets out there that try to help beginner gardeners, but the best ways to learn about plants and their habits is by talking to other gardeners about their experiences, reading reference books and just trying them out to see how they perform in your garden. And, those ways are a lot more fun than playing with gadgets (well, most of the time…)
Cheers,
Lorraine
To market in terms of quality rather than price, and in order to differentiate accordingly, you need to follow the standard format of the 4 P’s marketing plan. That is, Price, Product, Place and Promotion – obviously you know the main attributes of the product, and the price, but for ‘place’ you should think about the type of people who are willing to pay over 4x price of competing product – whereas the cheap option may be sold where emphasis is on cost, your product will be suited to places/distributors where the customers will be willing to pay for quality. Thank you for this article! I’ve just found a decisively big news blog about advertising Try it!
