From Unused Garden to Income Generator
Meet Emma from Devon. Last summer, she looked at her garden and saw more than a BBQ space. She saw potential. Today, that patch of land hosts a boutique garden studio generating more monthly income than her day job.
“I never thought my garden could work this hard for me,” Emma says with a smile. Her story reflects a bigger shift happening across the UK. According to recent data, 28% of Brits are planning extended UK holidays in 2025. Another 33% are exploring weekend getaways closer to home.
Why Garden Studios Are the Perfect Rental Investment
At My Garden Studio, we’ve identified three critical factors for successful rental spaces:
1. All-Weather Comfort
British weather is unpredictable. Your rental space must feel cosy in December and cool in July. Our 100mm insulation and climate control ensure guest comfort year-round.
2. Privacy is Paramount
Emma’s guests consistently praise her studio’s separate entrance. Private, self-contained spaces command higher rental rates and better reviews.
3. Connectivity Matters
In 2025, strong WiFi isn’t a luxury—it’s essential. Guests expect seamless connectivity for work and entertainment.
