Hey Dan,

I'm not a nursery owner/farmer yet...but perhaps within 18 months up in the Carolinas after I sell my home here in Baton Rouge.

You should order the book produced by the owner of Plant Delights Nursery in Raleigh.

Also, bookmark http://www.growit.com/

You should look also into installing a number of bee hives to produce honey, propolis, pollen, and royal jelly to sell at your nursery: http://www.beesource.com/

James,

Thanks for the reply and the info. I briefly looked at the PDN site. I am going to check it out in more detail later today.

A neighbor down the road has a huge bee operation over this part of the county. No shortage of bees here.

I should be receiving my copy of Tony Avents book any day now. I have heard it said that his book is actually for starting a large nursery, but I feel sure the principles are the same and can be applied to a smaller startup nursery.

Good luck in your upcoming move and plans on your nursery/farm at your new home.

Dan
