What Can They Earn?

Most young people start with small, helpful gardening tasks in their local area.

Typical starter jobs include:

• Leaf clearing and garden tidy-ups

• Weeding flower beds

• Sweeping paths and patios

• Light garden maintenance

Typical early pricing:

• £5–£10 per small task

• £20–£40 across a weekend

Earnings depend on effort, availability, and guidance.
This kit focuses on learning how to price time and effort fairly, not guaranteed income.
