FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Do I need to be RHS qualified?

Not required, but we do verify professional credentials. We look for design portfolio, client testimonials, and demonstrated horticultural knowledge.

How much can I charge for plans?

You set your own pricing. Typical range: £150-£500 per plan depending on complexity, size, and your experience level. Platform suggests pricing based on market rates.

What if I already have my own clients?

Perfect. Use PlantingPlans tools for your existing clients (client portals, structured formats, critique tools) and optionally list plans for new leads through the marketplace.

Can I sell the same plan multiple times?

Yes. Create template plans for common scenarios (e.g., "Cottage Garden Border", "Urban Balcony Collection") and sell to multiple clients. Reusable formats = better margins.

Is this a full-time business opportunity?

It can be. Some designers earn £2-5K/month from platform sales alone. Others use it as supplementary income alongside site visits and full-garden designs.
