This is Part 2 of the conversation with Grant on How to Build a Nursery Side Hustle.

This episode has tips that you can also use on your homestead to save and propagate trees and plants, with enough abundance to sell the extras.

  • Propagation - from cuttings - elderberry, mulberry, figs, berries, and discarded trims from nursery plants.
  • Did you know that figs are pollinated by a wasp, who dies in the flower and is absorbed?
  • Flowers, mums, and bulbs
  • Obtaining seeds and plants
  • Where to sell - FB, Craigslist, ebay, and creating a popup website

Seeds and trees have “memory”. They thrived and reproduced in a certain climate.

Often when you buy trees, seeds, or plants online, you must buy from other states or regions. They often will not do well in your environment and climate. I learned this the hard way that trees and plants grown in other areas and climates do not do well in Kansas.

Grant has many stories about how he wheels and deals for plants as they come off of the season.
