When deciding on what plants you'd like to grow, keep in mind some specialties that could earn you some nice profits:
Ornamental grasses are known for their exceptional color and form. Plus, they have a huge range of size possibilities, from six inches to twenty feet. They're being heavily used for urban landscaping as they are tolerant of air pollution and poor soil. Decorators and floral designers are frequently using them as cut flowers and everlastings. They're simply a great choice for a new grower as few insects or diseases bother them.
Table-top Christmas trees are gaining popularity as more and more people are living in apartments and condos that simply don't have room for a full-size Christmas tree. These can provide a lot of fun for any home. Two of the most widely-used varieties are Italian stone pine and Elwood cedar.
Bonsai is the Japanese method of stunting shrubs and trees without changing the natural appearance. Their popularity has remained steady for years, and can bring some big profits your way. There are three types to consider growing: starter plants, trained plants and specimen plants. Each can make you different money based on size and appearance.
Once you're ready to sell your plants, you have a lot of options. You could try farmers' markets, which are popular events that routinely draw big crowds eager to buy from the best local growers. Or how about a fundraiser. Donate some of your profits to a good cause or charity and you could see a lot of sales. Also, you could sell directly to landscapers. They have to get their plants from somewhere, so why not your backyard nursery. If you can grow what they want and sell it at a competitive price, you could see a lot of repeat business.
