Hello, please make a video listing all the wholesale nurseries you use. I noticed the Griffith boxes in your 1500 Green Giants video. Thanks for sharing these two nurseries with us. Share more. Love the channel.
Where do you go to find nurseries that supply specific plants? What happens when supply of one plant dries up, but you still have customers interested?
I just can't tell you how excited I am to come across your videos. I'll be retiring next year, I thought about maybe turning my experience as a hobby gardener into a little business. Appreciate all the encouragement and information!
What you are doing sir is a wonderful blessing for me at this time. I am at 69 years and partly disabled, I have built up a verity of composting worms for the castings and the worms themselves for two years now and I have worms commin outa my ears. For six months I have been buying supplies and seeds to begin a business selling edible plants for profit with the worms products. Luckily, I have a back round in horticulture, business, pest control, and landscaping. I am excited to finally see it all coming together. But you have given me the opportunity to see someone else successful in doing something similar that I am. So thank you very much for the work and time you put into your utube channel.
That was really sweet of you to do. Overcoming hesitation is crucial- and sometimes hard. Giving people confidence is a valuable thing to do (also, considerate).
Greetings from South Africa! I am continually inspired by your videos. I am in the process of starting a small nursery and I at times really doubt myself. I have some hurdles, but whenever I feel like giving up, I somehow see a specific video of yours and then keep going. So far I have started a number of cuttings and am also busy getting smaller plants ready for selling (it will take some time, but at the very least I started). I wanted to start selling bigger "ready stock", however my crowdfunding campaign has not born fruit yet, so instead of giving up I started with a small amount of plants and will continue buying small plants in smaller amounts, give them some TLC until they are ready and I have enough stock to start selling. My bigger stock which in turn will enable me to buy larger amounts of smaller stock I will start buying as and when I can. Until then I will keep buying smaller amounts of young plants and continue to root cuttings.
As we are beginning the same way, I applaud you for sharing your story. Even though I will be selling mostly edible plants, the concept of beginning a business such as ours is needed greatly… and I do love to watch plants grow…. Not to mention that I need the money!
Right now, there are several retail online nurseries that are selling hostas for about $2 each. These are bareroot. If planted correctly, they can grow a half inch per day. That is my experience. I live in Indiana.
Super good information for people like me. Thinking to retire soon and take my gardening hobie to the next level. Thanks you very much for sharing that information. Save me time researching. I love your Chanel.
OMG lol I have the order catalogue and can also order online of course but I couldn't swallow my pride and call to ask what the heck it all meant. lol THANK YOU!
I called Emerald Coast Growers and spoke to a delightful young lady (well, she sounded young) named KEENA. She told me I would need an EIN number to buy from them -- this is a number issued through the Federal Government. I don't think it costs anything -- you just need to fill out a form. It is IRS form SS-4. The website says if you mail it in, it will take about four weeks. You can also fax it to them but I don't know if that would be any quicker, as most places, including the government, have staffing shortages.
What size plants are in the trays? The next step is to up pot them to grow out some more or to sell, just wondering what size pot do I need to do them in. Do I up pot in stages or up pot them to the sellable sized pot , what would be the usual size for perennials?
Normally 72 count plugs would be potted into quart or trade gallon sized pots, grown out, and sold in a couple or few months. Plant growth rates vary, of course.
Mr. Savy Dirt Farmer my name is Jorge and I want to thank you for all your videos which have helped keep me motivated in getting this nursery started. If it's ok with you may I ask what plants you would start with if you were in Central, FL zone 9b? I'm ready to make my first wholesale purchase but I feel like I have writer's block, if that makes sense.
Mr. mercado, in your warm climate, I would not have any idea what to recommend - but it's not hard. Pay attention to what plants are common in your area. What do people grow in their landscapes? What plants are selling at your local nurseries? See what your big box stores are selling. You should be able to come up with a "top 10" list pretty easily. Some things to look for - what kinds of shrubs, evergreens, ornamental trees, perennials, and edibles are people growing? Ask around. Don't try to be the guy who is growing plants no one has ever heard of, at least not in the beginning. Just get your foot in the door with commonly recognized plants.
@@jorgemercado7505 I have bought them in late summer (around late August), potted them, and sold them the next Spring for $6. That's my price for probably 90% of my plants.
You're the real MVP for this one... thank you so much! My questionis..and may be a no brainers but I wanted to be sure.. when you order a tray of say 72 and it says 0.73 is that for the tray or per the plugs in the tray so 0.73 x 72 for a total of approx $53? -N
This is the tricky part. A 72 count plant is very, very small. Most of the perennials I have bought have ended up needing to overwinter in their pots, flushing out nicely the next Spring and ready to sell then. For me, I try to find perennials in 50 count or 38 count, which are larger, and the time it takes to fill in a pot is much shorter. Since I have no greenhouse, climate control, etc, I can't get most of the 72 size started early enough ( like right now!), to have them sale ready by Spring.
thank you, Thank You, THANK YOU! I looked at order forms and thought I figured it out, but wasn't 100% sure. My question....would you share which wholesale nurseries you order from? I am in north ga so our climate is very similar to yours. Greatly appreciate your videos and sharing your knowledge! and the willow cuttings I ordered are doing great. 😀
I've been watching all of your other videos and revisiting your older ones. Quick question on this one. When ordering a 72 count "tray" , how are plants shipped? As bare root starts, say like bleeding hearts? Or they in actual cell packs? Thanks
I'm trying to start a fruit tree nursery here in Missouri and I've been trying to find all kinds of bulk fruit tree deals and I just can't find nothing. So I've literally been growing all the apples that I've got from seed.im not giving up though
@@savvydirtfarmer oh I'm definitely not giving up I like watching your channel too I've got all last fall I went and collected a 30 gallon tote full of persimmons I have no clue how many in there but there I got those all in a bed germinating and then I went up along our fence line and picked up and picked shoot I bet 400 lb in a wild plums I got all those seeds germinating and then every apple and piece of fruit that I've been buying from Walmart in the grocery stores it has seeds I got them all in jars I don't have the space to get those germinating until spring time I'm definitely not giving up
I deal mostly with hostas. They need shade. I have purchased bare-root ones from Bourgondien when they have a sale. I try to buy my hostas at $2 or less. I am thinking about astilbes, which also need shade. I think they have them on sale right now for 10 for $10 or thereabouts. Amazon also has value packs of hostas. After I soak the bare roots overnight, I put them in a 3" diameter plastic cup (also on Amazon) -- and put a little potting soil around them. Then, they go into the shade. I let them grow a bit (couple of weeks) and then sell them as "starter" hostas. It's exciting to see what you can do. This week, I'll be potting 112 plants!
Some degree of shade is really helpful in the heat of the summer. However, I didn't have any kind of shade my first couple of years. Some of my plants caught afternoon shade from a dogwood tree they were under. Without shade watering has to be closely monitored in the high heat. Depends on your location/climate and also depends on what plants you're growing.
Several sources and I can't post them here for a variety of reasons. Use google... you can find them. Problem is, I don't even know where any are available right now anyway. Nurseries are sold out of everything, it seems.
What is your selling price range for these plants you buy for 0.79? Are you able to grow them for 2 months and then sell for $5 or more? I’m in Alabama so not far from you so the sell price should be similar. Thanks for the videos , keep up the good work.
I sell about 90% of my plants for $6, and that is well under priced at this point in time. The 72 size plants will usually take more than 2 months to get to sell-ready size, but growth rates vary widely by plant.
If you ordered small perennial starts now, you'd need a heated place to keep them/grow them if you live in a cool climate. Otherwise, it's a Spring/summer project.
I don't understand whether I'm allowed to get cuttings from the neighborhood, with permission, and root and grow them out, with the end goal of selling those plants. Am I allowed to do that as a backyard grower?
If you do not know exactly what the plants are, you should not propagate them. It's just poor practice as a grower of nursery plants, regardless if you're a small backyard nursery like mine, or if you are Walter's Gardens.
@@savvydirtfarmer thank you for your honesty. I appreciate that. Going into business is still in the "dream" stages for me. I've just been trying to sharpen the skill of propagating and growing plants, mainly trees. I've traded a few plants and sold a few herbs, but that's all as far as any business. I just get so intrigued by plants and trees I see around the neighborhood and I always want to try to propagate everything. I've propagated around 50 rose of Sharon's this year that were growing wild in my backyard. Now I know to keep that stuff in my personal collection and only sell what I can specifically identify. So I think my next step is to obtain more inventory from the garden centers, and then I'll figure out what's next from there. Thank you so much for all the information you put out for us. I follow along the best I can, but I tend to cram a bunch of info at once and then have trouble recalling it once it comes time to apply it. You're my number 1 source of info on this topic of starting a backyard nursery. You've inspired me so much and I know I can turn my dream into reality!
@@kimpaintscanvas7023 From what you say here, one thing is obvious to me... you have what it takes to do this. You can see what's next. You are intrigued by the plants. You're a learner. And, you are taking ACTION. Please comment from time to time at least... I'd like to know how you're progressing.
Good question. I its in winter dormancy, you'd be in no rush... maybe a few days?? If in summer, you've got hours. But if it's dormant, take it a branch at a time if you can. Fresher is always better.
@@savvydirtfarmer Thank You!! Love your vids! Just found you today!! Wife wants me to cut the 2 we have down...but I want to get the cuttings! Guess you just let me win that argument! 😯🤣🤣🤣
@@savvydirtfarmer Yes Sir...I have 2 full grown Emerald Greens that are coming down..but will create Hundreds from them.. Hopefully...and I have about 30 some Green Giants that are staying but will be taking cuttings from! Ok... maybe I'll cut One down!? 😁😁
When a new plant patent is granted, the grower (whoever discovered or created the plant) attaches a one time royalty to the plants, and that patent protects the plants from propagation for 20 years. You can only propagate the plant if you have an agreement with the patent holder to do so.
From my side, I don't think that is a good idea. I've mentioned it before, and I'll say it again here, let google be your friend. Be specific in your searches. Make phone calls to the places you find and ask them a lot of questions. thanks
I am a retailer. So they sell to me. I'm not really sure what you're asking. Wholesale nurseries do not/should not sell to Joe X who wants to put a bunch of cheap plants in his landscape.

Cash only right now. The way things are going I'm going to have to modernize though!
You can use a program like Square or similar with your phone linked to a new bank account
Thanks for the tip!! How do they ship them?
Also is there a wholesale perennial nursery like fruit trees/shrubs that you use?
Depending on the size of plant, type of plant, and season, they just box them up and ship them. They know what they're doing.
Cheers
How was the shipping cost on flats? Was wondering how it effected the total cost in the end.
It always varies, but it's never that much. You have to look at it on a cost per plant basis. A few pennies per plant, usually.
do you think its necessary to have shade cloth, hoop house or some type of protective covering for starting out?
Some degree of shade is really helpful in the heat of the summer. However, I didn't have any kind of shade my first couple of years. Some of my plants caught afternoon shade from a dogwood tree they were under. Without shade watering has to be closely monitored in the high heat.

Explain the royalty fees for patent plants
When a new plant patent is granted, the grower (whoever discovered or created the plant) attaches a one time royalty to the plants, and that patent protects the plants from propagation for 20 years. You can only propagate the plant if you have an agreement with the patent holder to do so.
Where can I order indoor plants?

Do you have to be a business to order from these nurseries? Some will only sell to the retailers.
I am a retailer. So they sell to me. I'm not really sure what you're asking. Wholesale nurseries do not/should not sell to Joe X who wants to put a bunch of cheap plants in his landscape.
How big a nursery should be to make a living?
I have no idea! Depends on how much money you need to make to "make a living." Could be a few thousand sq ft. Could be a couple of acres.
Some require a minimum order
Yes. Some you can buy a single tray. Some require several thousand dollars minimum order - and I'll pass on those!
@@savvydirtfarmer ... pass on...for now?
@@John_GGG I will pass (not order) over those who require thousands of dollars in minimum order!
Hi there I just left a comment in the other video about peony I’m just not sure if you’re able to see it.
They want a tax ID#, so you need a business
Probably 2 out of 10 wholesale nurseries I have bought from asked for it. Occasionally it's a thing. Normally it's not.
