This is clearly already a very successful business, it does however, still offer tremendous potential to increase both sales and profits in the near future by:
1. Increasing the outside display area
2. Rent additional local storage so more stock can be held
3. Offer more garden products at the appropriate time of year such as garden plants, hanging baskets and bedding
4. There is the possibility at some time in the future of buying the freehold of the property
