new nursery

I'm in East Tennesse and I've been looking at some land to purchase for a small nursery..I need some advise on where to by wholesale plants and how to price the plants for resale..Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Thank You...Clean-Cut Lawncare & Landscaping...

 

There are many growers in Tennessee, especially around Minnieville (sp?) that should be willing to sell to you. You can also use a paper publication called The Plant Locator or go to http://www.Growit.com on the web. These sources all seem fairly heavy in southern grower listings. If you look in the various trade magazines that are frequently referenced on the forum, you should find listings for shows where you can go and meet the growers and gather lots of catalogs as well as place orders. Good Luck!

 

Try Carino Nurseries. I think they are in Ohio. Here is their website and they will send you a catalog. http://www.carinonurseries.com/

Good Luck

 

Hey guys thanks for the advice...Clean-Cut

 

Cleancut,

There are numerous wholesale nurseries around McMinnville, and also down around Athens, AL. I have a relative who is in the landscaping biz and she gets lots of her shrubs and trees from growers at both of these areas. If you are interested email me and I can get you a list of the ones there.
