Growing and selling small plants is THE BEST SIDE HUSTLE EVER!! Creative and DIFFERENT!!

SMALL Nursery Business Mentoring:

Everybody seems to be looking for a side hustle. They have time. They have a need. Now, all they need is an idea. One that can be done at your own pace, in your own time, at your own place, and to your own scale is building yourself a small nursery in your backyard. Instead of doing all the "normal" hustles - Uber, deliveries, grass mowing, etc... try something different. Something that is fun, something that works, and something that won't suck the life out of you.

Your videos have really helped and inspired me. This year I had my first plant sale and made just over $2, 500 CAD. Purely Facebook ads and sold over a five-day period. Thank you for your encouragement and keeping me motivated. 💖

I love how many times you repeat that you can grow plants, you can do this! I hear people talk about how they can't grow anything, or keep anything alive, or kill all their plants, when I mention my garden. and its like...I've killed plenty of plants by accident. I just have a lot that have done super well and I learn from it.
Plants want to grow. we just gotta help them a bit

Several years ago I had it in my mind to start a nursery. I began collecting nursery pots from everywhere I Home Depot, garbage piles in the cemetery, neighbors, began multiple compost bins to make my own using leaves and grass clippings, got a couple cheapie yet sturdy greenhouses. Something that needs to be mentioned is not everything that is not necessarily cultivated should be propagated or sold. It's important to research what you're making more of and whether or not it's considered invasive, restricted, or illegal to sell otherwise. While I can easily propagate burning bush, it becomes hard to eradicate once the seeds are spread by birds, gets established and competes with native species. Even the attractive ribbon grass that roots so readily could be easy money, but again can become a problem spreading underground. While it might seem like a free for all using trees and bushes on your property, double and triple check🧐

You are a great communicator. Due to your videos I made $60 at my garage sale selling my "left-over" hosta plants. I will not be expanding too much but I really like your explanations and how your youngsters are learning as well.

I'm very much interested in doing this its just taking the 1st step, been growing house plants for alittle over 40 years, every one tells me that I have a green thumb, its truly a passion of mine... just need to take the next step

[kerrytoby]

I have a somewhat green thumb. It's also a little numb from pushing acrylic plates repeatedly through routers for a lot of years filling time sensitive orders. I have been doing this since 1990 from my shop at home. This month February 2024 I am closing my business. Now I get to enjoy a half acre gardening and propagating plants for my new side hustle. I love gardening anyway so it's a great fit. I will also do projects I choose in my shop and offer them up for sale. It will be a good winter hobby. Hmm....Gardening, plants and maybe planters, bird houses, benches . Obelisks, fan trellises . The most beautiful thing other than gardening is I will create my own schedule. I have been watching Savvy dirt farmer now for a number of years. I love the easy going well presented, friendly shared knowledge. Thank you!

Craig, I love your can-do attitude! I enjoy propagating plants (shrubs and perennials), as well as growing annual and perennial seedlings, but I have no desire to turn it into a business. I did that for a few years, and it took over our home. Now, I love to gift my plants to family, neighbors, and friends. Have a blessed day! `Margie😊🌿

Just started a backyard nursery. Growing herbs, etc. Thanks to finding your video, I've got the perfect side hustle.

My daughter lives in Augusta, GA and theres a older couple who grows and sells day lilies a block from her home. The place is called Shaws Sunshine Garden if you want to look them up. They grow the plants in the ground and when you want to buy them, they will dig them up and put in something. The nursery was even used in a 2018 movie called “The Mule” with Clint Eastwood and Bradley Cooper. They only filmed there because they needed someone who has and grows daylilies. So if you’ve seen the movie, the nursery is a real place. It sits in corner of a side road and you can drive right in front. I am told if gate is open you can come on in. Its at the persons house on side of house. They are open Wednesday through Saturday 9:30-3 pm. One day I’m going to go there and get me some lilies and put them in my yard here in SC and tell everyone how these are special lilies that were grown by someone who had a movie made in there nursery. 😁

As someone trying to start their own nursery (although different plants), your channel has such a wealth of information. I also have to say that in terms of you having your family involved, and your passion for growing, and your outlook on life is honestly inspiring.

[meghannichols]

Stay at home mom here! I've been selling houseplant propagations and veggie starts for two years now and I really enjoy it! I'm working on taking things to a level where I can bring in a more consistent albeit small income! Your content has been very helpful!

I'm a widow, my husband left me with LOTS of thrift store/yard sale treasures that he collected over the years. He was obsessed, every day off was another buying opportunity! 😱 I've been having garage sales to get rid of stuff, bit by bit. The money goes to support a ministry called Faith Comes by Hearing. At last year's garage sale, I sold $200 worth of plants - just stuff I no longer wanted. At this year's garage sale, I sold $400 in unwanted plants. Since then, I've found your channel and intentionally purchased plants to sell next year! I've added 10 different kinds - including green giants, hydrangea, and hostas. Thank you for putting all this information out there for me to find. ☺ May God continue to bless you and your family. 💞

THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH, I appreciate your videos and advice so much ❣️ I'm fifty years old and in the process of being let go from my job. And the only solace I have is my backyard gardening, which I just started!!! And started by YOUR VIDEO 😃 "How to propagate green giant arbivatae". I just planted two, and they're doing well, and I transplanted a baby(7'-8') tall red cedar in my yard, and IT'S doing well. Thanks again for your help, advice, and mostly your positive encouragement.God bless you and yours ❤

[askpawpaw]

Love your videos. You have inspired me. Just finished unloading 400 trade gallon pots I found slightly used for .25 each and then found out that a lumber mill 10 miles from my house sells mulch - hardwood, double-ground! I just unloaded a truckload full for $40. It’s coming together. Thanks again.!

[twilightrinitya]

Thank you so much for the inspiration! I feel like I can do anything.

[roannegrasso]

You're so encouraging. Thank you so much!

[Cheriesgardenvegplot]

Young man you are so inspiring and motivating. Thank you.

[andreariegler]

Adapting this info to greenhouse culture/practices. Growing and selling uncommon tropicals and cacti. Lots of challenges and hard work but worth it so far. Thx for the inspiration

[awakenacres]

All great points! I started my small nursery this year using what I already had and gathering seeds from street trees. I’m focusing on permaculture plants. My biggest problem is we live way out in the country so not a lot of traffic. I don’t have the time for farmers market or shipping plants in the mail at this point. And there’s hundreds of plants I’d like to grow. It’s hard to decide which ones I should focus on.😄💕🌿

I have to thank you for your continued encouragement. THANK YOU. You have the best youtube channel!
