I own a greenhouse and nursery and I sell things like planters, birdseed, lawn and garden tools, outdoor power equipment, etc as well as the plants, bushes, trees, etc that is the main focus of the business. I do some landscaping and snow plowing seasonally.
After Christmas is over, I am only open Saturdays until March. I am going to hire a young person to work for me for $8.50 per hour as a sales clerk. Can probably give them 100-150 hours work in February getting seeds planted into pots and flat packs. This work is only semi-automated.
Honestly, this is a gift. I generally get a couple of handicapped people to help me with the planting and with tax credits, it doesn't cost me much at all. As for the 9-3 on Saturdays, I do most myself. I don't really need the help, but this person needs the work.
They paint flower pots as a way to make money. They sell them on consignment. I'm going to get them a better price on terra cota pots from my wholesaler when I put my order in next month. I probably will deduct the cost of the pots as the first few sell rather than try to squeeze money they don't have out of them.
Am I being to generous? Thanks.
