Path to an MVP

Introduction

The concept of edible landscaping combines the beauty of ornamental gardening with the practical benefits of homegrown food. It offers a dual purpose, enhancing the aesthetic appeal of a property's landscape while providing a sustainable source of fresh produce. When considering developing a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) for this idea, it's essential to focus on balancing design with functionality. Addressing the logistical elements of plant choice, seasonal variations, and customer needs will set the groundwork for a successful launch. Building partnerships with local nurseries and horticultural experts, along with educating customers on sustainable practices, can differentiate this service in a growing market. Starting with a small pilot project will allow you to refine your service offerings, measure interest, and gauge user experience effectively.
