Education built around the realities of running a gardening business in the UK
Greenwich Arc exists to provide practical business education for gardening professionals and landscape designers operating in the UK market. We focus on the specific challenges faced by small business owners working in British conditions.
The platform emerged from recognizing a gap in available training. Many resources focus on either large landscaping firms or hobby gardening. Small business owners needed education that addressed their unique position—professional service providers working independently or with small teams.
Every module is designed around UK-specific conditions. We address British climate zones, native and commonly used plant varieties, seasonal patterns unique to the UK, and business practices relevant to the British market.
Content focuses on immediate applicability. Concepts taught in courses can be implemented directly into your business operations. We avoid theoretical approaches that don't translate to daily work.
The curriculum recognizes the constraints of small businesses. Time is limited, budgets are tight, and decisions need to generate returns. Training is structured around these realities.
All content addresses British climate conditions, regional variations, native species, and UK business practices. No generic international content.
Strategies designed for sole traders and small teams. Practical approaches that work without large budgets or extensive staff.
Each course module addresses specific business challenges. Seasonal planning courses teach workload management across UK weather patterns. Pricing modules cover cost calculation and value communication. Plant knowledge sections focus on varieties commonly requested by British clients.
Content is updated to reflect current market conditions. As client expectations evolve and new techniques emerge, course materials are revised to maintain relevance.
Greenwich Arc serves gardening professionals and landscape designers who operate small businesses in the UK. This includes sole traders building their client base, experienced gardeners transitioning to business ownership, and landscape designers developing their service offerings.
The platform is particularly relevant for those who need structured knowledge about business operations. Technical gardening skills are often strong, but pricing strategies, client management, and seasonal planning require different expertise.
Courses benefit professionals at various stages. New business owners find comprehensive guidance on establishing operations. Established businesses use specific modules to address particular challenges or expand service areas.
Courses are structured as focused modules that can be completed independently. This allows professionals to address specific business needs without committing to lengthy programmes.
Each module includes practical frameworks, decision-making tools, and implementation guidance. The goal is to provide clear direction that can be applied immediately to business operations.
Content is delivered in formats that accommodate busy schedules. Materials can be accessed when convenient, allowing learning to fit around work commitments.
