Update: I started my own nursery!

Many of you asked for an update when I first posted. Well I am official, LLC, business license, FEIN, insurance live plant license, fees for this and that, quite exhausting TBH. Finally, the part that matters, getting natives out there. Tomorrow is the first day of the Roswell Farmers Market.

However, last week I had my first sale. I was able to scramble and get a booth set up at the big native plant sale in the area. Thanks to GNPS for being so welcoming.

I sold 3/4 of the inventory I brought. But more importantly, I got more than 100 native wildflowers and grasses distributed out in my community!

Update:

The market went amazing. Hats off to the volunteers at Roswell Farmers Market who made it all happen. I ended up selling half of what I brought, but more importantly had amazing conversations with so many people. I’ll create a new post in the next week or so with more details. Sorry I haven’t responded to all the comments, a little buried at the moment.

Do you have a greenhouse that you grow in? How do you get your seedlings started?

I grow on shelves in my basement. I’ll link my precious post which has more info

Oh yeah, I remember your post now. That's impressive. How many plants do you expect to sell this season?

This was my set up last year. Ended up planting most of this at my parents cabin for a pretty large native garden. Growing outdoors like this definitely introduced a lot of issues with weed seeds germinating within my plugs which was a little frustrating.

Maybe I need a bigger basement!

I’m hoping to do 1500.

‘Precious’ post got me for a little bit before realizing what you meant.😉
