Garden Club Memberships: Worldwide

A Simple & Sedate English Garden

Creation of the
"World Garden Club"

Starting Garden Clubs: per city: a money maker for approx. 150 people min. per city. Then, further increasing the potential with increased memberships adding even more Garden Houses. Goal of over 1000+ cities-suburbs to participate, where the old basic $200,000 in revenue, for 1 city, could increase into approx. 20 billion a yr worldwide:

$1000 to each Garden House per yr.

The starting payouts to 100 "Garden House" people per 2000 members
would increase to payouts for 10,000 people per 200,000 members per city.
On a global scale with 1000 active cities, creating payouts for 10,000,000 people worldwide each yr.
All the while reducing city temperatures.

2000 Members:100 Gardens Per City

In the look for an income out of these rally round houses across the world, there is one commonality, & usually that is a garden space. Gardens large and small can create a new garden economy while the current economy is rewarded through this design. Every person with a career or an extra $1000, is always helpful to spur economic stability.

Shofuso Japanese Garden

I begin with a basic goal of 2000 members per 100 gardens, 10 gardens to visit per member: but obviously this is a minimum and the real future goal would be much higher, working up to 200,000 members per 1,000,000 houses, with 10,000 gardens of availability.
The gardens houses can each be given names, "Lavender Lane", "The Cherry Castle", etc.
& Yearly votes to the winning Gardens. Gaining them even further notoriety for Home, Garden & Building Store Advertising Opportunities. Where Home Depot or Lowes would use their images in their Garden center campaigns.

The plan is simple and offers a chance for 3-10 year round jobs, per 2000 members with a side income of $1000 per garden house per yr. If expanded across 1000 cities, and as membership numbers increase it will be a wonderful economic boost.

Basic Plan

• 2000 members, membership fee of $100.00 each per yr.
• 10 Garden showings per Garden per Summer. 20 visitors only per garden showing.
• 10 different Garden House visits per membership per Summer.
• Each of the 100 Garden houses receives $1000.00 for participation and being selected.
• Profit potential per 2000 members: $200,000
• From the $200,000, $100,000 goes to pay the 100 Garden Houses, the other $100,000 pays the year round workers, office supplies and any adverts.

Booking Days

• Garden Houses can book their 10-day showing schedule for a shorter duration or all throughout Summer. ie. Bookings for Senior Days only during the week, or just Family Days on the Week-ends. Shorter durations would be within 2-3 weeks of bookings, ie. 3 week days and 2 week-ends for 2 weeks of visitor tours vs 10 Saturdays.
• Garden showing hours limited to decent times: 10:00 to 2:00 or 9:00 to 12:00 in desert regions.
• Each Garden House showing day would have to be for 20 members per booking and not less. Unless there were no-shows.
• Booking software normally used for to book vacation rentals, could be modified for the Gardens.
• Pet friendly needs to be noted, so animals aren't kept in cars, some sites could also offer a play room for the dogs.
• Drinks availability would be up to the Garden house, usually donations would be easiest for water or juice.
  
• Party Day Option: extravagent, with caterers, music and bartenders, magicians and doves etc. This optonal "pay more per visit" could be added for a few days & that party income and planning going to the Party Garden House only, and not the club. The club would only handle the booking and could transfer the extra ticket value paid for the booking. ie., $25 dollars extra per member. Note: Party houses would require seating in their gardens to match the ambiance. Weddings could also be booked on party days, but the guests would all have to be garden club members. with a choice for different # of hours and times also, ie. 2:00 - 6:00pm.
• Members would also get to choose favorite visiting days, ie. Thursdays, Saturdays, to match their schedule for their specific 10 garden visits. As well, the database has to weed-out their former visted gardens from being a choice each yr.
• Email reminders of their 10 house visit days and a schedule for each Summer, with some type of punch card for the members with each seasons: "10 Garden House Names". Garden house greeters, would punch out their cards out, on arrival.

Other opportunities & benefits, to add into the business plan:

• Networking Potential: Visitor books for each garden house would be a nice touch. The Garden House people could make this event similar to a Networking meet and greet to pursue other business goals.
• Include a twice-a-year "cuttings buy-sell or swap show" for the members. This venue would require either a rented: large field space with tables or an indoor center. A nominal entrance fee, to pay for facility space, and a chance for a side profit for locals who garden and want to sell off some rare cuttings or seeds. Typical basic vegetation cuttings should be free though.
• Local garden stores will have increased sales & garden staff, due to the new attraction of people wanting to be selected as a "Garden House". Which beautify city and suburb spaces, as well as help local economies.
• A few more extra jobs will be created for Pergola & Greenhouse Builders, Pond & Fencing builders and even Garden Designers for the truly elaborate gardens.
• Eventually, as the number of Garden Houses increases per city, online mapping services could include the houses name tag, all of which advance property values. If 1 out of every 5 houses is accepted & becomes a Garden House, then well, that's like 1 out of every 5 houses receives 1 free month to pay their (average) mortgage, which further helps to stabalises the property market.

Using this basic business model to support the "Cultural Arts"

• Opera-Ballet-Music: Opera Houses* with season tickets. *building rent or leasing would best if the city and/or federal gov. waived the costs, then more dancers, actors, singers, musicians could be hired per venue. Thereby, enhancing the economy.
  $100 for 5 shows with 2000 season subscriptions = $200,000 revenue before wages & costs.

Environmental Benefits

• Aside from being a mini-money maker for the Garden Houses, every year, local wildlife: hedgehogs, frogs, lizards, bees, butterflies & birds will be able to find more and more elaborate gardens and prosper.
• Gardens all on there own, can reduce city temperatures by 5-15 degrees. So more gardens means less chance of climate-related heat strokes etc. Therefore, the goal of adding thousands & thousands of new Gardens to every city is key to reducing further Climate upsets.

Vaux "Baux" History: 800AD to "Visigothic Balti"

Visigothic Kingdom:
Dark Orange-toned into Spain

Vaux's & Baux's en Provence

My Mother's Genealogy Work

The Vances from Mexico, Alabama, Mecklenburg, Ireland, Scotland & France:

I will blog further about the Visigothic Balti, but not in this blog which is really about the important Vance & Vans history link, after the 3rd file image:
detailing info about the three "de Vaux" brothers Hubert, Randolf & Robert originating from the William Conqueror era and Castle de Baux.

Mary "Vaux" Vance was more of a teaser mom about the past, after all, the family had carried years & years of surnames memorized from generation to generation, in practical song.
A bit of a boring repetitive, yet "a worth" to them especially during their impoverished times. You see the Vaux name itself brought with it the character of loyalty, valor, "be faithful" & courage.

A mis-balance I've found in this line is the forget of the woman, many of the wives were not given the same name prestige as I've discovered with other lines from the same era. So when researching there are many missing histories from the spouse lines.

The Rev Vans is also a problem, with his correct birthdate, supposedly a graduate from St Johns College & Cambridge, then later the added "of Kilmacrean" town name in Ireland. Plus there are possibly 3 generations of Rev Vans from Barnbarroch with a Sir Patrick Vans in the middle.

My Royal Mum: Queen Mary of France & her Father: Richard "Vaux" Snow* Vance:
Photo's are from the Interior of Mexico, at the bank, and later to a wedding to bestow gifts to the bride to be, in one of the worst currency times in history. When the Peso fell, during the 50's. Still exhuberant with "Joie de Vivre". Mary had to return her diamond bracelet shortly thereafter..

* Snow is an Indian line Reference from Sitting Bull

I did find this paperwork today, about our descent as "Baux" and Baux de Provence, which could be very helpful to genealogists. Mentioning the Visigothic Balti, etc.

All great, and wonderful for myself as well, matching my own sure thing, with easier substantiated truths with familysearch.org.
The Library files are not scanned in, rather a link to the manuscript: but the first 2 files listed below are scanned into family search.

In ernest, I did not want to rebuild a castle that didn't belong within the family line.

So now, any of the "Catapult" & ("Fontaine" Fountain are separate) taxes collected henceforth, can be further legitimized.

Scottish Vaux Genealogy

from the Library of Scotland

There's a couple of links about the Baux de Provence Castle Rebuild, from the Catapult tax: (as my ancestors "Baux" inventored the Catapult), the small 300 Euro tax pays for the rebuild, paid by Owners of Chateau's within the EU : check payment link.

"35 Euros per month or 300 Euros per yr.
from each, chateau, keep, or castle owner
within the European Community. "

"Additionally, those with fountains must also assume the higher yearly "Fontaine Taxe"
A tax per fountain, for each large estate or city, typically 1-5 fountains."

Retirements 55-64 w-Pre Paids & "Dividend Helper"

Windsor Castle, from my ancestors.

Retirement: Ecological & also an Economic Booster

An xlsx sheet for New Governments (large or small), or revamping older ones, towards a "Pre-Paid", Social Retirement System. Also included is... a Dividend Helper to assign specific companies & estimate one's monthly income.

Social Retirement 55*-64

There's a quick calc, with many variables possible.
Results are: a government with an exacting social payment, the same for all.
Which allows for retirement at 64, & Pre-Paid beginning (compounded int. since a child) as early as 2039. Prior 2039, social taxation continues for workers, with a flat rate income tax approx. 12.5%
Pre-Paid meaning: the social system pays for the retirees every yr automatically, without any further social taxations required. Citizens would no longer be taxed for retirement, during their lifetimes.
The accrued money works instead of over-working the people, all due to Dividends.
*55 retiree age group means, the Pre-Paid system would be far later, in 2065.
Further Pre-Paid Result: is less impact on the environment due to less work & stress for retirement savings.
(Property tax-free, with only a tax on property sales of approx. 12.5%, this plan is great for tax havens, and seceding, yet allied regions.)

Dividend Helper!

This spreadsheet is very basic & easy to use.
It tallies up the dividend income of up to 14 stocks:
1) Income "Monthly" or "Quarterly"
2) Exact #of shares to purchase.
3) Interest Ranking higher to lower.
4) Incl. Capital gains tax % reduction.
5) Final $ Amount Held in Shares

All-in-all it's a spot on assessment of monthly income & I recommend updating the stock values occasionally to keep current with valuations.

For the 14 Companies:

Fill in the gold boxes:
Stock Name
Price per Share
Annual Dividend: Interest Rate %
Annual Dividend: $ Amount

The Invested Amount

Then for each, if $1000 is to be invested,
enter "1" to the right of the $1000 column

or for higher amounts: enter "2" to the left of its associated column.

The amount columns are shared for all 14 stocks,
& the main amount to spend (or spent) per column can be edited.

Modifying The Investment Columns

The current columns:
1000, 2000, 10000, 50000, 100000
can be modified to support investment expenditures higher than $1000. ie.
1000, 5000, 20000, 80000, 220000

Variations of the 14 stocks, are then used:
1000 (STOCK-Q)
..................5000 (STOCK-L)
and so forth. (don't ask, but currency formatting $'s can't be listed, only numbers)

The "All is at Risk" Statement

The companies do not stay at the same % rate, the rates change, and companies raise & lower in share value.

Finding Dividend Stocks

The examples listed are merely examples, but were listed & available at the given prices in 2022-03.
Please don't go with oil and gas companies, try to be "ecologically-minded" also.
& There are stock screeners online with brokerages & research sites,
to help make further company determinations.
