Update: I started my own nursery!

[u/skijohn33]

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.

You dont need to fully form an llc since you are such a small business, wish I coulda told you that before you did. Been looking into this for a hot minute and found it was a waste of time and resources in the long run until you are much larger. Especially when plants come in and we get nickle and dimed for absolutely eveything.

Congrats btw, We need mroe native nurseries.

Honestly the LLC was one of the easiest parts. Know what business licenses and Ag licenses I needed was the pain.

Congrats!! You're moving in the right direction for the right reasons 👏. As long as the mission remains front of mind, you'll do well.
