It also helps if you have a strategic vision and a tactical plan as to how to get there. My favorite thing to do is gardening. In fact, I'm so good at it, that for the last few years, my neighbors have been coming by and buying them. My first reaction is that there is a good bit of competition in what you are doing. You could set up an LLC with a brochure and biz cards and do a direct mailing to your local community to get jump-started.
Word of mouth has a way of creating a viral marketing environment that feeds on itself.
You could also consider partnering with another small florist, yard care service, or other retail business where you can display your goods. We also take Sundays off and spend the day together. When one of us travels, we try to arrange it so we are not gone on weekends, but if we are, we try to take the other along on the trip. I am currently a logistics professional in a managerial position. Due to my husband relocating to the DC area, I've been looking in the area for logistics positions.
