The opportunity
Why this business works now
A nursery turns seeds and cuttings into higher-value planting material over relatively short cycles. Demand comes from farmers, community gardens, landscapers, retailers and home gardeners, with different product lines balancing frequent seedling sales and longer-cycle plants. The plan explains propagation, plant care, stock control and sales.
5 product groups
The model covers vegetable seedlings, herbs, ornamentals, indigenous plants and fruit trees.
Short propagation cycles
Many seedling lines can be ready for sale within weeks.
Mixed customer base
Buyers include farmers, gardens, landscapers, retailers and households.
