THE PLANT THAT SELLS
How to Grow, Market and Profit from Plants - Even If You Are Starting Small
What if the plants growing in your garden, backyard, or farm could become a source of income?
The Plant That Sells is a practical, easy-to-follow guide for turning plant growing into a profitable business. Whether you are completely new to growing plants, already have a small nursery, are a farmer looking for another income stream, or simply want to discover which plants can make you money, this book shows you how to approach plants as a business.
You don't need a huge farm, expensive equipment, or a large amount of capital to begin. What you need is the right knowledge; careful plant selection, good growing practices, and an understanding of what customers are willing to buy.
Inside this book, you will learn how to:
Choose plants with profit potential - discover how to identify plants that can attract buyers and create worthwhile income opportunities.
Start and grow plants successfully - Learn practical approaches to propagation, nursery establishment, and plant care.
Start small and grow gradually - Find ways to begin with the resources and space you already have instead of waiting for the perfect conditions.
Price your plants for profit - understand your costs, set sensible selling prices and avoid selling at prices that leave you working without making money.
Find customers - Explore practical ways to reach homeowners, gardeners, landscapers, farmers, businesses and other potential buyers.
Market your plants effectively - Learn how presentation, photographs, word-of-mouth, social media and other marketing methods can help your plants stand out.
Turn different types of plants into business opportunities - from ornamental plants and herbs to fruit seedlings and other useful plants, discover the possibilities available to growers.
Build beyond a hobby - Learn how a small plant-growing operation can develop into a more organized and profitable venture.
One of the valuable features of this book is the Plant Profit Directory, which provides a practical starting point for exploring plants that can be grown and sold. Use it to generate ideas, compare opportunities, and decide which plants may fit your space, resources, and target market.
