This is how I decide which plants to sell in my small nursery business. The goal is to stay out of direct competition with the mass market plant retailers. That way I …
These videos are so helpful. Thanks for taking the time to pull back the curtain on what it means to be a small business owner.
Great video which starts from the basics. Years ago, I purchased two books about how to START a nursery. After going through the pages, I've read about the daunting challenges of managing my crew, the expensive equipment and epidemics smothering my crops. Very little was dedicated to the basics. I was barely recovering from the 2008 stock market recession and the advices offered by those books were instructions on how to chase your tail as fast as you can. (Or just start the business when you're already rich and experienced). Keep up with the videos. Good job.
Now I see the process, I think I'll stay with my little collection of plants. I'll leave that to you and all the experts, Jesus loves you!
Thanks for sharing. I hunted down Poke Weed seeds for its medicinal properties. How hard do you consider them for growing from seed? If I lived near you I would no doubt be a repeat customer : ))
Out of curiosity, what are the 2 or 3 most popular antique/heritage rose varieties that you sell that people want to buy?
So much interesting. I’m aiming to enter in the business but while I’m in the planning phase your videos are very interesting. Thanks!
Great video again, thank you! Can I ask your thoughts on selling a high volume of cheaper, higher demand plants vs selling a lower volume of more expensive lower demand plants? With the profit being similar is there any advantages to one over the other?
I'm interested in purchasing some of your plants that didn't sell well. I appreciate God's creation and diversity very much. Can you contact me regarding this? Thanks.
Thanks for taking the time and making the effort to make these informative, practical videos. Lots of useful info coming at a perfect time. Thanks from the south of France 😊
Very informative video and how i get start nursery business
You "pump out" some excellent videos! I just saved this one. You are so good with the information you provide. Many times, "Thank You".
Can you share some seed growing to plant ready for sale cycle interested to know your thoughts!!!! From india
Such good advise. Thank you
As a small backyard retail nursery grower myself, I love to hear your insights here. Speaking of easy to grow and low demand, I thought growing multiple varieties of willows to appeal to basket weavers, florists, etc. would be a good market. I guessed wrong. Product selection is critical.
Thanks for the info! Very useful. I like the idea of pre-bonsai, anything with woody stems. I am on my second year attempt at Harry Lauder's and Blue Atlas weeping "cedar". I also have a highly ramified elm (korean) I got from Bill Valvanis in Rochester, it was a sport he kept but not patented. I also like the idea of Boulevard Cypress, Mugo pines with shorter needles (you can find them among mugos for sale at big box stores, they must grow them from seed). The only problem is Mugo are very hard to do cuttings of, as everything (Besides most of the roses!) I would like to grow.
