With spring officially here, plant nurseries will be flooded with gardeners looking to spruce up their landscape. However, only in Georgia can you get flowers and award-winning BBQ.
The tree planting campaign movement was championed by CJID in partnership with PREMIUM TIMES, the Association of Flower Nurseries and Landscaping Practitioners Abuja and Pet a Plant Foundation.
One of them is Victor E. Onasile, a young entrepreneur who ventured into botanical gardening in Abuja nine years ago. He described the business as hard but profitable.
Onasile, who explained that his love for nature, especially plants and a desire to achieve something in life were his main motivations, said experience was important in this venture.
“So far, I am happy, not because I am making much money but because I am able to help other people as well. Right now, I have 16 people under my monthly payroll. Every month, I spend N400,000 on their salaries. Apart from having other branches, being an employer of labour is one of my greatest achievements,” he said.
