The Lost Garden of Eden

It is even possible, if you are skilled enough, to create sculptures from pieces of wood
or even stone and sell these. The key is to look at what materials are not already being
used in your garden and envision what you can do with the resources you have
available.

Home Baking

An extension to the idea of selling and serving tea is to consider baking your own
products; using the produce growing in your garden. Depending upon your culinary
expertise you can focus on simple dishes such as zucchini or vegetable
pies. Alternatively you can create a range of jams and jellies which can be sold from
your garden. Providing you can create enough of the jams you may even be able to
approach local businesses regarding selling these items in their shops and restaurants.
Establishing a relationship with local businesses is essential to the success of this
strategy. However, once you have built these connections you will find that this can
be a lucrative additional source of income.

sell. This stage will allow you to assess the
work involved and how much produce you
can grow within the space you have available.
