6 Gardening Tools Company Success Stories [2023]
Gardening has been touted as a relaxational activity that provides excellent personal rewards and a source of income to commercial gardeners. Whether commercial or just farming for fun, gardeners prefer to use innovative tools to help them tend their gardens.
Therefore, starting a gardening tools business can be a lucrative opportunity. You can either start selling gardening tools or offer them to gardeners on lease terms.
Here are some real life success stories of starting a gardening tools company:
1. Growers House ($37.2M/year)
Nate Lipton (from Tucson, Arizona, USA) started ** Growers House** over 11 years ago.
My name is Nate Lipton and I’m one of the founders of a group of related companies in the cannabis and hemp industries.
We now have made it to the point where GrowersHouse.com is the largest e-commerce store in our niche, with one of the most popular YouTube series about cannabis cultivation. The cannabis and hemp industries are taking off, and I can’t think of a more interesting industry to be in on the ground floor.
2. Rotoshovel ($120K/year)
Rick Goren (from Fishers, IN, USA) started Rotoshovel almost 4 years ago.
Hi! I’m Rick Goren and I’ve started numerous successful companies over the years. The latest of which is Rotoshovel: designers and engineers of groundbreaking landscaping equipment! Our flagship product is the Rotoshovel, the world’s first and only electric shovel.
