Plants, pots and a café. Sell the spring, and feed people while they browse.
Six weeks from late April decide the year, and a cold wet May cannot be recovered: plants that do not sell are watered, potted on and eventually thrown away. The café is not a sideline, it is often the most profitable part of the site and the reason people come when there is nothing to plant. Christmas is the second season, and the two of them carry a large site through the quiet middle of the year.
