Great idea! We have several articles on starting a nursery. That can take 2-5 years. There are several ways to shorten the time to break even or profit. We will be sure to get a video out about some ideas to get to profitability sooner.

Good rundown. Might I suggest a starting from scratch series, numbers are great but showing a simple few steps to getting some cash in is worth it's weight in gold.

Larry and Martha: This is an excellent video. it really provides an overview of what it takes to start a nursery like yours. Many things to consider: initial investment, physical effort, space, growing times for various plants, etc. You've given viewers like myself a lot to think about before making a decision whether to try a nursery or not. I'll be watching this video several times. The information and links on your website are very helpful as well. Well done!

Hi dear friend thank you so much for giving us so many good ideas. I am on Social Security and a low income. This was a really good video for me to watch and think about maybe trying to do anything kisses from grandma, Sandy, and Debbie watch from the beginning to the end.

Plants are a great side hustle, with a little care and attention it can be quite lucrative. I have a lemon cypress growing tall in my garden, saw them about 18” high in pots at local Asda selling for £12 each 👀💡£££££

I appreciate the idea. My stumbling block is "Would I sell it, how and what if and so on".

Just subbed to you. Excellent info. :)

I started my backyard nursery recently. Propogating arborvitae last year and ready to pot them up this spring. Propogating a lot of other things this spring. Love to hear how others are starting theirs and what they are doing

Do you have a greenhouse for the plants?

When propagating plants make sure it is not patented. Plant patents are good for twenty years.

Grabbing plants from Home Depot, propagating, and having that is cash or free money is certainly a way to make money. However, anything over $500 is a business and must be registered in most states then there are USDA regulations and finally God forbid you propagate and sell a plant that has been patented! Now you’re really breaking the law. I know people do this all the time, but so few videos I have seen on this subject bother to mention this.

As for buying seedlings and reselling, legitimate wholesalers don’t sell to individuals, only businesses. This can also be a hefty investment for some people. To buy in bulk it’s not like buying 20 or 30 plants it’s more like 200+300 plants.
