About this ebook
Gardening was never this funny . . .
"The rest of the exhibition was largely uneventful, as I spent most of the time perched on a stool, racking my brain as to how on earth you put stripes on a lawn."
A clumsy Australian is living in New York, when he decides to start a gardening business in the United States.
He doesn’t know a weed from a wisteria, but relocates to Greenwich, Connecticut, where he rents an apartment, buys some equipment and promptly chops down the wrong tree.
Yards and Stripes is the story of an eternal optimist, who stumbles upon the opportunity to launch a successful Australian garden and landscaping franchise in the US.
He has no experience or interest in gardening, but excited at the prospect of building a nationwide franchise network, thinks to himself - How hard could it be?
Struggling to deal with banks, suppliers and the odd angry neighbor, we follow his often hilarious and always eventful journey, as he strives against all odds to establish his business.
