For the intrepid traveler looking to save on the cost of a hotel room and homeowners willing to rent out a portion of their gardens, there is a new service called Camp in My Garden that could be perfect for these individuals. The website makes it easy for homeowners to monetize a portion of their land by renting it out. The gardens are listed on the Camp in My Garden website, along with details on the location that might be beneficial for the potential renter (e.g. WiFi access, shower, parking, etc.).
Travelers can search for a garden by location or by entering the event that they are planning on attending and find spots in the vicinity. Camp in my Garden is a great business model because it provides real value to both parties involved.
