BLESS YOU. I have been looking for information like this for days (thinking about starting my own nursery, of course) and you are the only person who actually has put real numbers on things and provided any concrete estimates to work with. I have found so many vague references saying to "figure out how much it costs" with no details provided as to what their own situations look like for reference. You are an absolute angel, thank you!!!
Hey man you're channel is gold. I love the business side of the videos. I got 7 acres exactly one year ago when my wife and I bought our first house. It came with two glass greenhouses from the 70s and this is kind of what sold us. Been wanting to sell plants for ever so I love your videos. If like more greenhouse specific videos like anything you had to deal with in terms of space management or systems used to help with your own business you're building up.
I am so impressed by all your videos. You have helped me to start my business in countless ways. This video is exactly what I needed to understand. Thank you!!!
OMG You answered my prayers. I was just today outside with my plants trying to figure out a price for everything. I didnt know what was right. I looked up pictures, and there prices, but some of my plants was either bigger or smaller than theirs. I just didnt know what to do. So I acted like I was shopping in my greenhouse, picking up plants and asking myself what I would pay for it. (and I a cheapo person) and thats how I was pricing stuff I grew or propagated. So now I am looking back with what you said, and scared to over price when I can find some of those items lower than this scale. And the items are in high demand in some areas, sooooooo will have to see where I can fit this in at. I think....
Spot-On Jason! I've worked in Production Hort. in the past and know that end of the market... When retail customers see mature specimens offered they have no idea of the history, the blood, sweat and tears that were involved... That anyone can simply raise a plant from seed is anathema to the industry... A Valuable end product is something else entirely! n.b. Daphne Odora has given me more grief than anything else. No one gets one cheap from me!
Thank you for this, I had calculated the cost of the pots, soil, etc. But I couldn’t find anything about how much to charge for your space and time. Every site I found just mentioned to charge for it and shop around for prices. I’m glad that I can now at the time cost to my calculations. Hopefully I’ll be able to go to the farmers market next year, I might have an edge selling plants there since the Home Depot and Lowe’s are about thirty minutes away from the community. I haven’t seen any plant nurseries either, so I hope that eventually I’ll gain traction as a local grower.
Jason, thank you for your detailed videos. I work for a small college that trains young adults with Cognitive and Intellectual Disabilities. We are open to the public for Greenhouse sales twice a year and since I've only been with them 10 months I'm scrambling to fill in my knowledge gaps in Horticulture. I've used several of your videos to aid in explaining seeding, transplants and grow lights. Because of the program, the community has become use to bargain prices at our greenhouse so I'm trying to make adjustments to create a more industry standard experience for my students. This video is a great help as I'm trying to determine prices for planter arrangements created by my students. Thank you again for your time and shared information. You've alleviated some of my work burden!
This is an amazing video and I’m saving it. I had the thought this year that I should begin selling my starts since I truly have a love for growing from seed (but am limited on growing full size plants on my space). I wouldn’t even know where to start with this, so thank you.
Thanks so much for all the info! I’m just starting to sell plants and I’m having a hard time finding pots for those prices. If you’d have a suggestion as to where I could find that price I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks
We always keep an eye on Facebook marketplace, Craigslist. Occasionally, we'll see gallon pots at blueberry farms (leftover from planting) and of course, other larger nurseries sometimes have small pot sizes left over in excess of what they need after potting up shrubs & trees
Thank you for your advice. I’ve been really puzzled about how to find out this information so pleased to find out how easy it was. Just ask RUclips :-)
Great video, thank you Jason May I please have your thoughts on grow bare root roses for a few months and selling it for 2x (inc soil and pot)? I am still not sure about adding watering cost, since the large pots are easily 1 sq foot each. Might inflate the price too much :(
I'd give a little look at what price the market will bear. Here's it's generally much higher than 2x, generally 3x and some high-end sellers even up to 4x. I'd say 2x is a little thin - but as mentioned, you'd need to see what local customers are willing to spend.
Good question. Yes, when I looked for an estimate it was all of the above - fixed and variable costs of the space. Of course, that could only be the roughest approximation because every property and region will vary - even changing over time.
Hi Kenneth. It's a tough one - I try to use the shortcut methods as much as possible: what would I have to pay for it if I were buying it from someone else in a similar stage of growth? This works well for some things, but not so well when there are no comparables. You rarely see suppliers selling individual cuttings, so how can you peg a price? It's one of the reasons I always want to root my plants before selling: it gives me a clear value for what I should charge. My thought is that you discount it from the selling price of a rooted plant. For instance, I can buy a rose in 32-cell plug size for around $4 - but it takes a couple of months to get to that stage, and depends a lot on a skilled propagator. If I were selling the cuttings only, I'd probably let them go for 75 cents a piece with no guarantees. Something like that.
How would one apply this knowledge to the following situation (mine :p ): I bought a P9 Siberian iris 5 years ago for let's say 3USD. During that time growing in my garden it has become massive and I could EASILY make 20+ divisions from it. Potting these up in P9's, what would a good price be considering I've had it for years in my garden? I enjoyed them and it's not like they've taken up valuable space....But in the end the plant isn't exciting me so much. I've tried to sell it to a neighbour who runs a professional nursery, but he didn't want it because he says Iris are difficult to sell and really are sort of a niche market.
Hi Lee-Roy - you're at the mercy of your market. If you're interested in plant selling in general, I'd suggest you divide just a few and try to sell them on Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace. You could try listing them as fresh divisions for a lower price (in the range of $3) or if you root them, try a bit higher. If the idea of growing plants for sale doesn't excite you so much, just dig it up and make space for something you'll enjoy more.
Hey love your videos I think I made myself a problem, started with free pots and soil and I have lots of different seeds every year as I work as a gardener but started selling them at 2dollars and they sold fast. But now that I have to buy pots and soil I dont make any profit so bumped price to $5 for 1 gallon plants and im now stuck with a couple thousand plants that I cant sell b/c people won't buy them
Finding the best market balance for pricing is so tricky! I still struggle with it myself, and I'm constantly tweaking varieties too - because shoppers tend to be less sensitive to price if the plant is interesting enough (in my market)
@FraserValleyRoseFarm yea I've noticed that plants that are blooming sell faster and people dont mind the price as much, well wish you the best of luck and again love your videos 👍
Have you tried to grow some fancy asters from seed? I believe you can sell a 1g pot for $20. If you have revenue you can just franchise your nursery business, just like cloning your plants.
Watched this one for the second or third time... I'm still on the fence with whether or not to sell wholesale to a storefront "homesteading" type of store. They offer all locally sourced things, but they already have someone selling them dirt-cheap peppers and tomatoes, so they want herbs and flowers that do well in Oklahoma (maybe perennials) . . . at wholesale prices. I'd have to start herbs and flowers in January or root cuttings over the winter, and that makes everything cost more because of the time. Right now, I'm growing plants for fun and to sell to friends and family to basically break even. What would you do?
Hi Lanna. This may sound funny, but I'd probably be most influenced by my impression of the homesteading store and their ownership/management. If they're good people and are willing to work with you for a win-win relationship, that can make all the difference. Yes, starting early can add cost and complexity, but there are also some shortcuts you can use to test the market a bit: like buying in some inexpensive herb plugs from other growers (through Ball for instance) for your earliest crops. It adds direct costs to the product, but means that you don't have to solve all the heating/propagating issues on your own for the first year or two to see how it goes.
I wonder why are there not the cost of your hours of labour spend to one plant. I know you probably have that included in your price per square foot week but.... some plants are quite average and don't need a lot of extra work but some plants do. How you figure that in the total?
Hi Eddy. You can definitely "favor" the easy plants by discounting their rate per sq.ft.wk. If you chose an average of 50 cents, you could apply 40 for easy plants and 60 for difficult. None of these are accurate numbers, but it just helps to shape your prices and your business to account for your efforts.
Do you think I could do $3 in a major American city on tomato plants in 2022, exotic and also traditional favorites? I've already checked, that's significantly lower than Lowe's or Home Depot, and then some. Thanks!
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm incredibly fast reply thanks for your input! Love your videos, just found you a few days ago I've watched and liked over a dozen of them let's move some tomatoes this season! ;)
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm thanks for your reply. I am not talking about wholesale. I am talking about plantscape. :) when business is your main clients buying at retail price. Thanks!
Location, location, location. I live in a high cost living area. And a tourist town. And an affluent area. I can get my supplies cheaper, but still can find customers who are willing to pay a higher price. 🙂
Hi, I have just started with Lavender in India, it is grown in the top north (Ladakh and JnK some parts of Himachal ) in the Himalayan range. But due to geography constraints, they are not selling in retail, while I have access to most of the country I sell mainly through E-commerce currently, (I have a sort of monopoly currently) how do I price it? I'm selling at Rs. 1000 +(+ delivery or third party costs) which is around 10 Pounds.
Thanks - that's around $13 USD - it would be a relatively high price in my local market, but making the offer is the only way you'll know what your customers are willing to pay. Best of luck!
A lot of people are not aware that so many plants, particularly new and interesting varieties, have patents (PBR) and it’s illegal to propagate and sell them for profit. I have always wanted to know how garden centres deal with this since they have hundreds of varieties many of which with Patents. It’s sometimes incredibly hard to track down who owns the rights for a particular plant and I can’t imagine large garden centres taking the time to do this. Also garden centres and online retailers often sell plants with patents but don’t state that on the info label. Have you or anyone reading this had any experience with patents? There are so many plants I’d love to sell that are protected by PBR and it’s very frustrating.
Thanks Suzi. Good point, and I did do a video a while back on the topic, but it doesn't really address the question: how can you tell if it's patented? Most retail garden centers rely on the growers/suppliers to meet the requirements. I usually start with a Google search of the plant name, plus "patent". As an example: "hydrangea limelight patent" gives as its first result the US patent summary from Google Patents. The plant patent was granted in August of 2002, so will have expired in August of this year (20 years). For roses, I find it easier to use helpmefind to look it up. Practically speaking, if it's sold by Proven Winners or some other big brand, I start with the assumption that it's patented, and they'll often protect their claim by putting it right onto the tag. Also anything grown from seed is fair game. Anything I'm not sure about, I'll spend a little time researching before I decide to add it to my stock plants. I try to get a general idea of how long it's been on the market, etc . and who it's marketed by. If it's been around a while and I don't see anyone listing it with a patent # or PPAF, I feel a little safer. It is their job to defend the patent after all.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Thanks for the info, I am in the UK so I often check if a plant has PBR on the RHS website and spend a very long time doing Google searches.
