Business plan

Fern & Field Gardens · Sample business plan

A clear focus: courtyard gardens

Customers
Busy homeowners with small outdoor spaces who want a useful garden without managing several suppliers.
Offer
A courtyard design and landscaping service, from the first site visit to planting and handover.
Difference
One team, a clear scope and regular updates. Practical planting choices explained in plain language.
Priorities
Show relevant projects on the website, make the first enquiry easy and give every enquiry a clear next step.
Measures to review
Suitable courtyard enquiries, site visits booked, quotes accepted and time spent following up. Set targets after reviewing the starting figures and team capacity.
Action

Marketing activation plan

Practical steps, with an owner, timing and a way to check progress.

Marketing activation plan

Fern & Field Gardens · Sample activation plan

Six weeks to test the courtyard message

  1. Weeks 1–2 · Sophie: Choose three relevant projects and confirm permission to use their photos. Prepare short stories showing the space, the brief and the finished garden.
  2. Weeks 3–4 · Sophie, with marketing support: Review the courtyard page and enquiry form. Prepare a project story and a note for local referral partners. Approve the content and recipients before sharing.
  3. Weeks 5–6 · Sophie: Review where enquiries came from, how many fit the service and how many led to a site visit. Compare the work required with the team’s capacity.

Before starting: Agree the available time, costs and who will do each task. This sample does not include an advertising budget.

Next decision: Keep the activities that bring suitable enquiries. Adjust the message or offer where the response shows a gap.
Identity

Brand guidelines

A shared guide for how your business looks, sounds and presents itself.

Brand guidelines

Fern & Field Gardens · Sample brand guidelines

Thoughtful gardens. Room to breathe.

Personality
Calm, clear and practical. Help people feel that their space and project are in capable hands.
Colours
Forest green (#294D3C), sage (#DCE7D9) and warm white (#FFFCF5). Use dark text on light backgrounds so the message is easy to read.
Type and layout
Expressive serif headings, simple sans serif body text and plenty of space. Keep the same hierarchy across plans, presentations and the website.
Images
Show real spaces, useful details and planting through the seasons. Use photos with permission and describe the actual project.
Voice
Use everyday words and explain the next step. Say “Let’s talk about your courtyard” rather than “Transform your outdoor lifestyle”.
Presence

Website concept

Your strategy, message and brand brought together on screen.

Website concept

Fern & Field Gardens · Illustrative website concept

Your own room to breathe.

A small courtyard can still be a place to sit, share a meal and enjoy a little greenery. Fern & Field helps you make the most of it, with one team from first ideas to planting and handover.

A clear next step

Tell us about your space, what you want to use it for and when you hope to start. Sophie will follow up to discuss whether the service fits your project.

How this connects to operations

An agreed enquiry workflow can keep the details together, assign Sophie a follow-up and track the next step. Try the customer enquiry example to see how it works.

A note from the founders

Bludge is new. Here’s why we started it.

We’re two friends from university: Raef, who has built software for thirty years, and Clent, who has built brands for just as long. We’ve run agencies before, and we think there’s a better way to do this for small businesses: people who understand your business, AI to move faster, and a clear quote before anything starts.

Through our previous businesses, ProjectProject and Jewell Projects, we built software for the Australian Government, Queensland Health and Beyond Blue, and worked on brands including Whiskas, MasterFoods and Glad.

Tell us what takes too long or gets lost in your business, and we’ll show you what Bludge could do about it.
