Inside this course · Your tutor
I'm not sure how to price my first plant styling job. Do I charge by the hour or a fixed price for the whole project?
That's a common question. Many stylists use a combination. You might charge a fixed design fee for planning, then add the cost of plants and pots plus a markup. For the installation, you could charge an hourly rate. The key is to be clear in your proposal so the client knows exactly what they are paying for. Would you like me to walk through how to calculate a project cost?

What People Are Saying.

5 average rating

Set up a plant styling business, and maintain it too

The content was clear and practical — including the set-up of a plant styling business, and ongoing maintenance too.

Learning about the financial part of the business.

The first weeks are the foundation, not a warm-up

The first weeks in the home are not a warm-up phase, they are the foundation. The guidance we give owners during this window can prevent months of remedial work later, making early intervention one of the most powerful tools we have as trainers.

More from students

“I love that it has different ways to learn! I'll keep learning about each flower's conditioning needs — I feel I've learnt so much already.”

Tammie O. · Verified student

“Very informative, and I like the focus on clients. It's better to give advice in small segments — just as we do with our dogs. Small steps.”

John H. · Verified student

“Real world responses — wow. The laws, and what it means to run a facility, is an eye opener. Even the less-common-pets section was eye opening — rabbits are illegal to keep as pets here in Queensland!”
