Plant Patience was started as a home-based plant business in 2021. The client’s business was receiving excellent feedback from the community, but she had a desire to grow her dream into a brick-and-mortar location. A storefront would allow her to further increase her business and the services she could offer. In addition to plants and accessories, Plant Patience offers an ever-increasing variety of workshops and at-home consultations.
Our center connected the client with Rhonda Lowe. With her connection to Rhonda, the two were able to begin exploring all the basics of a proper business plan and assessed the steps of opening a retail store in her area of service. In addition to assisting Jessica with her business plan, we have recently continued providing services by assisting her with her marketing practices and by helping her implement a marketing calendar to reach larger audiences for her business. With the assistance of the SBDC, Jessica was able to set a target launch date and opened her doors.
