Good morning. I'm exploring the possibility of growing live plants, flowers and herbs to retail at our local farmer's market next year. Besides a tax license and live plant license, are there other licensing requirements? Also, could anyone give me a ball-park figure of initial investment costs? (I'd be growing an average of 8-10 different kinds of cut flowers; daylilies and hosta plants not usualy found in garden centers; and 7-8 different herbs to sell in pots.)

I also make my own country style containers and am collecting antique containers to retail along with the plants. (These will also make my stall look a little more attractive.)

Thank you to those who respond. Also, this website is a wonderful teaching tool to novices!
