Overview
Use this Backyard Nursery course from Warnborough College as a starting point. Study the nursery industry and its sectors in your region – see what is and isn’t feasible. Look at what plants and related products are currently in demand.
Consider opportunities open to you – for example:
- You may start small, propagating, growing potted plants and selling at a local market
- You may start by propagating herbs for sale, but also growing some, harvesting and producing some herbal products
- You may propagate flowers, selling potted flowering plants; or growing in the ground, then harvesting and selling bunches of flowers to a florist or at a market stall.
Nurseries, herb or flower farms that have humble beginnings on just a few dozen square metres of land; can eventually develop into a large, full time business.
