Edible landscaping is an innovative approach catering to the rising demand for sustainable living and local food. As more homeowners, businesses, and communities strive to minimize their carbon footprints, there's an increasing appeal for gardens that not only enhance aesthetics but also produce fresh, organic harvests right at one's doorstep. However, launching an edible landscaping service involves understanding the market nuances and creating a distinctive Unique Selling Proposition (USP) to stand out against competitors who may share similar aspirations in sustainable horticulture. Here are several considerations and strategies for developing effective USPs for this venture.
