every year, when the weather is mild, miltf to grannies goto this event, which is usually held at covention centers or some type of showplace arena. they get ideas on how to have a picture-perfect garden, that be featured in a magazine or local newspaper. the point is this. miltf and grannies alike, love these types of things. whether it be flowers, plants ( indoor/outdoor) shrubs and trees (yes trees) including dirt and roots in all. so if your a landscapists, this is your area of expertise here. my suggestion is that if you over hear a granny, saying she wants some type of a garden similar to a public park, introduce yourself, hand her a business card, of your business, or if your self-employed show her some of your work, with photos. also go their wearing a company t-shirt/sweatshirt with advertisement on the back (clean of course), clean jeans and shoes, or wear some casual pants, a button down shirt, with a tie (maybe). i know this sounds stupid, but make a good impression. just tell her your keeping up on the latest trend. also if you specialize in installing fountains to enhance the landscape, tell them, women love the water for peacefullness and the sound of rushing/pouring water. or how about a pond with a filtering system, that can be used for fishes (outdoors)seasonally, in the winter placed them in a aquarium- perhaps?:D
