Owning a plant nursery is very liberating. Being able to work outdoors and profit from growing your own plants is extremely satisfying. Thanks for your tips and insight. 👍

Having my own nursery would be a dream come true!! Personally, I don't think it gets any better than being outside all day, playing with dirt and grow things. Thanks so much for your video!!

I’m setting up my own plant business selling uncommon house plants online and I’m building up my stock over the winter ready for spring and summer but all my plants are my own personal collection and all of my stock are cutting I just take from when I prune my personal collection so the only thing I’m losing if it flops is my free time

I had to stop and say that I love your presence. I have watched a lot of videos like this and the way you very directly speak with the facts instead of “blah blah blah”- got my attention right away, made me pay attention to what you were saying, and very helpful. Thank you!

This is a great video! The most important aspect of producing anything and selling it, whether its plants or widgets, is the ability to suffer humility, in the face of terrible customers and or your product just isn't up too snuff, by comparison to other competitors. Use your humbleness to make yourself better than the others. Don't give up! You can be better!

A man in the Philipines grew his own food. The extra produce he did not eat he sold at a local farmers market. He always sold out because his garden was delicious and healthy. How much do we really need? This man’s example is what I hope to achieve. This way you can have time to live, laugh, and love.

One of the best videos I've seen on here. Everything you just said is so practical and could be applied to many business startups.

This goes for any business. The key to making money is you have to sell something. Be it a product or service, something has to be sold if you want to make money. You can be the best at everything else in the business, but if you can't sell anything, the business will go under.

Oh my God.... how come have I taken this long to find you? AMAZING CONTENT, a huge thank you!!! Can't wait to watch all of your videos.

This is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you for all the free advice. My father started a nursery hobby many years ago, he’s incredibly passionate about his plants and his hobby has now grown into what I consider a full blown nursery. He has thousands of plants, so much variety To chose from but we aren’t selling because we just didn’t know where to start. This was perfect advice and I appreciate the “No clickbait” approach because that’s exactly what we wanted to hear.

Great information there Jason. Thanks for taking the time to make your excellent videos 👍

Very timely. Thank you for taking the time to put this in a video!

Such a humble person! Thank you. I’m contemplating starting up in Ontario

Thank you so much for this video! Very clear, concise, sensible information. I appreciate your time and look forward to watching more of your channel!

What your doing is exactly what I’ve been wanting to get into. This video was 100% on point. Going to start small from the backyard, with goals of my next home being a good location to grow it more. Really appreciate the info, this was like a spark to the fire.

Goodness you’re right! I’m thinking of starting up my own orchid nursery, they grow slow some do not reach blooming size for 4-6 years. You’ve given me some good points to think about and jot down. Thank you.

Great watch, I'm in the final stages of opening my garden center and will review the rest of your vids now. Thanks again...

Good advice, as usual. It's always about the selling. Thanks!

This is an absolutely fantastic video for anyone considering starting a plant business. It's a great reminder to those of us who have been in the industry for a while as well. Fantastic job!

I just love to grow everything. The Rose's always get me but they look great

This was incredibly useful information, thanks so much!

Although I don’t comment on every video that you make, I do watch them all. As usual, thanks for your efforts! I’m so glad to see that your subscriber count is finally picking up pace, too.

Thank you for sharing with us your experience Jason!!!

thank you for a very informative and sincere video!

Greetings from Silverdale! (West Mission) Thank you so much for your vid! Very informative!

These videos have been helpful. Thank you. I am a gardener here in central Texas and I am propagating some stuff now.

A very detailed video. Thank you.

Fantastic video!! Just what I needed to see at this point in my nursery business.

The opening statement had a deep impact on the nursery selling concepts.. thanks a lot

this is so awesome and helpful. Thanks!

I have always wanted to start one , thanks for helping all of trying to do this ourselves

Thanks, Fraser, your advice is really helpful!

Straight to the point, nice video. Im just starting off selling flowers and doing ok. Youve given me a few good tips for moving along to the next thing. You got a new sub 👌

Thank you. Very helpful video for a newbie like myself. Also, well presented!

Outstanding tutorial Jason. Much appreciated.

I feel kinda dumb that I started running a tiny plant stall on a whim after having sold trees on a small scale for almost 10 years now. I did no research & went full rip on propagating & spending a month building my wee plant stall in my willow wood & building a Substack subscriber's list 😂 I'm only here now after launching my little plant stall but, I felt a little better after you mentioned your friend Mark. That's exactly what I do. I'm into photography & I've seen for myself what a well presented ad on social media can do. I sell local provenance trees, fruit shrubs, & obscure perennial vegetable plants & herbs plus mushroom grow kits & some very quirky tree "arrangements" & ready to fruit oyster mushroom buckets by appointment only. I had plans to open for FRI-SUN noon-5 sort of deal but, your video made me rethink that now. Because my products are quirky & specialised, I attract a different type of customer than a normal plant nursery & I think they appreciate the "come into my secret garden & chat about plants" type of appointments. Hmmm.. so much to contemplate on that.. will check out more of your videos! Thanks for the tips!

Thank you for your realistic selling market experience great solid advice for the beginner. Godbless

Watching videos like this and growing stuff has helped a ton with my mental health, many thanks! Ive got almost 20 roses now, a bunch of dead cutting and a few live ones, will probably rewatch your cutting videos about 20x haha

learned from every second of this video. Thank you for this valuable content sir

This is a great video. I started growing native plants in my backyard this year. We do the appointments and farmers markets. I’ve gotten a bad chest cold about a week ago and missed a couple planned markets. It’s starting to be the end of the season here and I have plants to sell, waste, or possibly overwinter. So this is a really good point.

Thank you for all of your information!

Great video, clear and to the point. Thanks!

great tips, very straightforward and genuine.

Thank you for sharing useful tips

Thank you for this!!!

Thanks for this video very informative, im from the Philippines.

Excellent! Please continue this.

Great Video, Thanks!

Great video. Informative and fast 👌

I’ve been taking note of what my local plant nursery’s don’t sell so I’m a unique permaculture garden center and landscaping business

Really helpful thank you

I grow for myself but lately been getting request for seedling this year and ppl asking for plants instead of going to box store so I got a lot to think about

Great info. Thanks.

Jason, very good video as always

Thank you so much for this informative video.

Am inspired with this video thank you! Am looking for some tips on how to start plant nursery and this video first appeared! Thank you!

Some good thoughts. Thank you.

I am on my way to start one. thank you very much for your valuable

Very informative video. Thanks for sharing

Great information!

Wow nice ! The appointment part got to me.

Good to know..I am very interested in getting up and moving

Hi Jason, I loved this video you made. I am in Massachusetts in the U.S. and have been propagating plants and have been looking at starting my own small business. This was so helpful. Along with selling plants, I am looking at taking 4 or 5 people in a group of their choosing, and teaching them how to propagate for a small fee. Didn't know if that would be something you might want to try. But thank you once again, your videos are great and well put together, that is the one thing I'm trying to learn right now, so that I can start uploading videos to youtube.

Thanks for the videos! Well delivered. I am moving to Australia and opening a nursery over there.

good & informative video !

This is so helpful thank you

This is super helpful! Thanks!

Yes I am learning about selling , now! If you build it they may not come. Thank you for the valuable information

I am starting a greenhouse operation for cacti dish gardens and aloe vera sales Have spent 2 years building inventory, in the paperwork stages now. I have spent the past six months actively building a customer base as I am going with "supply chain" as opposed to selling direct to public. Using flea/farmer's markets and street festivals to make public sales for left over stock. Will be a four season biz as I do custom garden art/ signage in the off season. Lots to do, but am sure I can make it with 17 yrs field experience. A dream coming to fruition for me and my family--

Thank you😊 🙏😊

The pink roses are really beautiful.

Very helpful info!

Beautiful place! 😊

Great video! Last year I sold my excess vegetable starts very quickly. This coming spring I’m planning to grow veggie starts just to sell. I’ve invested lots in seeds, media and container. I’m planning my sales strategy now.

Not looking to open a nursery but this was still all useful info for me as I’m starting to sell my own custom pots that I make! Great video thanks man

Thank you

nice. thank you

Cashflow the most important thing. Nice video.

Great video. Subscribed in the first minute.

I am a subscriber, like all the info you shared. I am a newbie house plant collector and just started a new channel and I am get a lot of inspiration from your videos. Thankyou.

3:28 5:29 What a gorgeous property! Great video, I love seeing someone cut through the bullshit and make practical content about this stuff.

Thanks

Thanks so much

you are awesome thanks for the information you give. im happy to have found you. i wish to speak to a person like you. as im starting a garden center

Thanx

Your motivating your subscriber 👍

Looking to start my own nursery next spring

Good video 😁

Very good info 👍👍👍🇲🇾

Thank you. New subber.

Thank you for taking the time to do this. I am hopeful that I can help the human race to love plants and maybe make some extra money in the process. I will be sure to follow the wise man’s wisdom as I do it, “pride makes us do things well, but love makes us do things to perfection.”

Thanks for sharing your experiences

Nice rose....

Great video, thank you 🙏🏽 Just the sort of information I’m after. I have 3 acres, I’m looking to retire and I’m wanting a way to make a few $ to supplement my retirement income, and so thought plants! I’ve studied horticulture and have worked in the industry for the last 3 years, and learned a lot. It’s my passion and I’d love to turn it into a small business. I was thinking of approaching landscapers in my area and asking what plants would be beneficial for me to grow for them, so this video has helped me see that that is a good idea, but there’s other options too. I have small markets in my area that I could try, or maybe mail order 🤔

This video should be labelled *Secret to Success* Many people enjoy the creation of propagating new plants Yet are disgusted with Selling Don't know how to price plants and add shipping cost I suggests you ask yourself a few questions Do I like growing a few variety or I grow everything. This will guide you to your customers. Don't like B2C Business to Clients Hire a good well trained salesperson for that job Other wholesale avenues Sell a dozen at a time to mow-N-go Gardner's to up sale the plants installed in grown Sell a packaged deal of mixed shrubs & flower pack to Home Flippers Sell a group package of pots with assorted flowers to home owners or party rental houses Best advice, get help with the task you don't like to do Stay with what gives you Joy

Thanks for the practical perspective. I got the fever for backyard nursery and now am having reality issues - just getting plants to be ready for a late spring sale is a challenge. I will have to buy wholesale and sell retail. It is now almost mid-October and I am in USDA Zone 7a, where there is not much growing time left. I am a bit stymied.

Sir Are your all rose plant grown from cuttings ? Say as you can on miniature rose grafting if possible. Have n nice day

Thanks for sharing. Im looking for more area to grow. I see you have a hoop house in the background, that's what I'm looking for. Just deciding on heating and cooling, and material

plants are friends.

Agreed…. I am an example of this. Geraniums and boxwood put me out of business. In Canada, many businesses are a waste of time. A very different customer base compared to the United States. Entrepreneurship is dead in Canada.
