I just wanted to let you know, I finally took the plunge, and sent in my paperwork and payment, and the NY State agriculture inspector came out and inspected my Nursery and plants, and I passed! Woo hoo! I just got my certification in the mail today, I'll be ready to sell in the spring! Thanks for your help in everything.
You're videos have helped my significant other to start, expand, and continue pouring our effort into the plant nursery of our dreams! We are currently a back-home nursery. We've built a greenhouse, invested in plants, have a good property for inventory. We've established our LLC, licensure, and have sold plants each week since we've taken it seriously! I lost my job and despite the uncertainty, feel more confident than ever with the long-term potential of our nursery. Thanks for all of your guidance/advice. Tackling new projects, learning new skills, and celebrating wins (big and small) each day help us stay motivated!
Great video! Within the last three weeks I’ve taken regular trips to Lowes clearance racks! Great time of year to find half off or better, items. Found a few palace purple coral bells for $3 each with 5-6 divisions to them, some Sedum, purple sandcherry, blue rug juniper and other perennials. All can be propagated and will become more plants next year! Some see dead plants I see opportunity.
Well, I took your advice. I went to Lowes, I got two arborvitaes (Emerald Green and Green Giant). I propagated them in a small, cheap dishpan in a mix of sand and tree bark. I took cuttings from my Hydrangea and put them in a pot to root. And I planted some Triple Crown Blackberry plants in my backyard with a few more on their way. I guess I'm committed, now. But it's one step closer to my own backyard nursery, and I wouldn't have done any of this without you!
What would be the turn around time from propagating to selling in a pot? Need to wrap my head around the turn times to calculate the timing and block chaining process
One thing I've discovered is ensuring you have a space to store your excess pots when they aren't full of soil and plants. I'm now building a garden shed to house my various materials, but I started out with an old metal dog crate I found on Marketplace for $20. It was light enough to move around easily, (even when loaded with pots), prevented my pots from being scattered by the Oklahoma winds, and allowed rain to wash them off. My family and I love your channel and look forward to each new episode! -Casey
Great video. I like the idea of three plants. That keeps it simple enough. I'm already working with two hydrangeas and three varieties of hostas. And I will have annuals and vegetables.
From watching this video I realised that I have been procrastinating and I have 80% of all I need , I am so privileged to have over 10 varieties of succulents and over 2 varieties of flowers and I got all of those for free . I believe this is a now or never moment I thank you for great videos
You are an inspiration. I'm a 70-year-old vegetable gardener and you have got me thinking about starting a nursery. Already, trying to source some thornless blackberry cuttings. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for sharing so much information and encouragement. People like you really make the world a better place. All the best to you and your family on your nursery build. And hope it all works out well for you.
Thank you so much for inspiring me. I can't watch enough of your videos. Nearly the moment we arrive at our new place in June I am starting a nursery as a "sod" hustle. I've been looking for an income stream. I was going to grow flowers for just myself. I can do both! To all my soon to be new neighbors in Wisconsin: Watch for a blooming plant driveway sale!
Love your videos! I’m in florida and just starting with some plumerias and snake plant. I only have about 12 plants total but hope sometime next year k can turn them to 30 or 40.
Thank you for a great video. Got all my licenses in place, all my supplies and propagated about 20 hostas from our yard, which are growing well. Was hesitant to buy plants now because I thought it was too late in the season. Now that I know it is not I am ordering plants this weekend. Your videos have really inspired me to get this nursery up and running.
I started watching your videos because I don't know much about propagating and I've learned a lot from you I grow hundreds and hundreds of different vegetable plants my intentions is to do fruit trees and those private screening plants they both will sell well in my area and I've had good success with what I've learned from you I have many women limes and orange trees right now and I'll keep watching
😊It is almost Spring so I am going to start some seeds! I will start a few plants also, the cold hurt some of my herbs and I need to replace them. Down here a few plants are popping up at the feed and co-op stores! Love looking back on these videos to refresh my memory! Thanks for all of them!
Called around to local nurseries in my area and found out that nobody propagates perennials on site and a couple have annabelle but most don't carry hydrangeas. Thank you for your videos and I'm propagating hydrangeas and emerald greens and weigelas. Thank you!
Almost any nursery that sells to the public buys in ready-to-retail sized perennials, or, buys in small plugs to grow out and then sell. You've got to be doing a ton of volume (and many are) to make any money doing quick flips and not growing. Plugs are a good way to go as well as dividing your own. Depends on the plant too. Some are fast and easy to divide and grow out... others take a while. Some of both is definitely good.
I am in the process of starting my nursery. My first attempt, though valiant, was not a great success. But I took it as a lesson. I am now more patient with starting it, at first seeing it as a collecting hobby: I am "collecting" seedlings, plugs and cuttings. At this moment my "collection" consists of 82 plants which has been potted and is now being cared for until I feel that they are ready to sell, and 60 cuttings which I am propagating. I am going to start relatively small as we have recently moved to a new town. The move also made me decide to approach my nursery differently.
Great Video.. Very inspiring.... My takeaway is, to start with what you've got... I have Hosta, crapmertal, Gardenias, Camellias, Rose of Sharon... English Ivy, Monkey Grass... A pretty good start, I would say....
I have been thinking about doing this with my grandchildren. I have tons pots, a good amount of compost and shade cloth. We will probably start with flower and vegetable seeds since I have no plants to start with.
What's the turn around time from propagating to selling in a trade gallon pot? And how much $10 per pot? For evergreen, hydrangeas and corabelle. Thanks for looking
Getting everything in place to launch this spring. Have orders in for plants...propagating hydrangeas and roses {non patented}. Was wanting to know dimensions of your larger shade building? Last thing on my list I need to build. Going to be ordering supplies I need for my greenhouse so wanted to order shade cloth at same time. Many blessing on you and your family!!!
I sure don't know much about greenhouses. To me, their main benefit would be to get plants started earlier in late winter/early Spring. Plants need a dormant period, length of time varies by plant. So, that's a whole 'nother thing I don't know much about either.
I am very excited to get started but have 1 major road block. I am in zone 8b - about 35 miles from the coast of S.C. and have 1/4 to 1/2 an acre I could use. I am having a hard time deciding what to stock up on. I have tried Lowes (2 Locations), home Depot and Walmart with no luck having mostly dead or house plants on clearance racks. I did find 2 pots thornless blackberry but that was it. I have tried various wholesalers but I can't seem to figure our the availability list as far as exactly what is available today. Maybe you could do another video on that subject but more in-depth. Thank you for your videos they are very informative. I am disabled with M.S. and on a fixed income and could use a little more income.
Interesting. I would like your input and your suggestion if possible. I will be 80 my next birthday and I am very healthy and very active. I live in zone 9B near Galveston Texas. I have about a half an acre of land at my home and a small 12 x 16 hoop house which I could cover with shade. Considering my age, realistically, I would need to concentrate on no more than a couple of varieties of plants that I can either propagate or grow from seed and resale within a season or two. I think I should stay with small varieties, but I don’t know which ones would be the best choice. any suggestion you might have would be appreciated. Congratulations on all your success with your nursery.
You can absolutely do that. You can do some sort of perennials from seed, with very little money in them. Start them late winter or early Spring and sell by summer, or start them late summer early fall and sell the next Spring.
It's mostly dependant on a couple things. What type and how big will the plant get. How long you plan on keeping them.. also going into a larger pot will save you a step later in the long run not having to re-pot twice.. Happy planting 😀
Do have a question?? Where is the most cost effective place you have found to purchase your ground cloth?? And did you say it is the DeWitt brand?? I'm going to be starting by using my deck. But I don't want to use but half. As still need area for the grill and the dogs lol. So I'm sure I'll run out of space quickly.
I purchase mine locally from a nursery supply place. But you can find it from the usual online suspects like Amazon. Bootstrapfarmer.com has it as well, and the other places I mentioned in this video. Easy to find. Dewitt? Yes.
I really appreciate your videos - great stuff! Hey, I'm wondering - that looks like a Nearing frame your sitting next to @ 7:17 - 9:07? I haven't noticed it or heard you talk about it in any of your videos before. Do you use it for any propagation? Thanks!
It was an attempt at a nearing frame that turned into 1,500 dead cuttings. I let them dry out too much - every single one of them, and I determined I was done with it.
Have you encountered any major disease issues? If so, what sort of response did you have and what was the outcome? With the ground cover, do bugs/diseases find their way up through it, or does it seem to prevent most of those risks?
Can you only buy plants for a nursery from a licensed nursery to resell or is it alright to also buy from avid hobbyists who don't have a nursery license?
I’m in N.C. Do l need to have a license to sell in my driveway like you did? I have a lot of plants to separate, and I’m starting to propagate others. How do I go about selling on a small scale?

Worms will LOVE that, for sure!!

To your point: I was at Lowes yesterday and all plants are 25% off. I might go buy an arborvitae or some hosta.
The box stores are always worth checking out@
You inspired me to get my nursery license. I already had the plants... it was a no brainer
Great!! Hope you do well with it
Thanks for the tips. Potting up day lilies next week as soon as I get over this bronchitis.
Best of luck!
I have been thinking about doing this with my grandchildren. I have tons pots, a good amount of compost and shade cloth. We will probably start with flower and vegetable seeds since I have no plants to start with.
Great idea. The kids is a huge part of this for me!
These are always really inspiring. Appreciate ya posting em. I'm planning on starting a hundred or so tree cutting for sale next year.
Best of luck!

Very good info. Would a green house speed up the winter growth? I know it'd help protect them. Amazon has pots.

How do I go about selling on a small scale?
Love your videos! What percent shade cloth do you use?
+ or - 50%
Making room in backyard now.😅
Great!!
Can we buy plants from you?
im not really set up for that
Started exactly 1 year ago and now i do have over 1000 from nothing

You need to be licensed by your state (not a big deal) to sell nursery stock.
Small scale selling? Peruse through my channel… multiple videos on it
