…and the best bit – I will walk you through the installation for FREE!

If you’re selling plants, cut flowers, or any kind of gardening or houseplant merchandise, this is a perfect way to get started selling online. Not only is there quite a bit of copy to get your site growing as well as your garden, all of the photography on the site is freely available for your use. Of course, you can always customise the photography specific to your needs. You can also customise fonts, colours, and other attributes of the template to truly make this framework your own unique WordPress eCommerce site

And if your business is bringing your products to local farmer’s markets, you can easily list these using The Events Calendar plugin.

But The Gardener is not just for a garden-themed eCommerce business. Because the Starter Template is built with both WooCommerce and The Events Calendar plugins in mind, there are numerous other businesses that could quite easily take this template and quickly customise it for their own market.

Selling produce, arts & crafts, kombucha, or anything else from your cottage, at-home business at a farmer’s market? Swap the beautiful pictures of flowers and plants with examples of your products to take the hard work of building a gorgeous WordPress website out of the equation. The Gardener is built as a framework for you to get started quickly.

The Gardener can either be used as single pages or as a full site. The overall framework of The Gardener offers a top secondary navigation providing space for social links, search, and cart navigation. A login button helps your customers quickly access their account to check status on orders, and obtain any account specific information.

Features include:

An inviting home page. The home page contains numerous sections to make for easy scrolling through your online storefront’s offerings.
Customised product, account, and checkout pages.
Slide-in cart. When a user adds an item to the cart, they stay on the page, seeing the item added to the cart in a slide-in cart element that doesn’t interrupt the browsing experience.
Flowers category main navigation. Highlight a product category in your site navigation to allow users to dive into shopping easily. The theme is pre-populated with 22 different products you can easily customise.
Merch category main navigation. Another product category that can easily be customised. You can even get full Print-on-demand integration to automate your merchandise sales – you only pay for what you have already sold!
Subscriptions! Looking to add a subscription element to your business? The Gardener starter template gives you a framework to easily do so.
An events calendar. Managed by The Events Calendar plugin, the calendar page is designed to easily show where your business will be in the future.
Education and Care page. Perfect as a template for blog posts and news items. The starter template comes with 9 pre-populated posts that you can easily customise.
About Us. Customise with your own story so your site visitors can get to put faces with the brand. People love doing business with people they know, so help them make these connections.
Gallery. Create a stunning visual experience highlighting features of your farm, or any aspect of your business.
