For years now I've had the dream of owning and operating my own nursery. I've always loved starting plants from seed and propagating them (as you know) but until now I wasn't able to figure out a way to cross over into the business side of plant growing. This weekend I wanted to pass on to you my new project called
The Home Garden Box.
At its most basic level The Home Garden Box is a collection of heirloom plants that create a themed garden. Right now we're mostly only putting together vegetable and herb gardens but I hope to have special offerings as the year progresses. But it's more than just a collection of plants, I've committed to growing these plants without synthetic chemical herbicides or pesticides and I'm only planting from non-GMO sources. I want to help new gardeners and backyard homeowners to start gardens for their families that are safe and healthy.
We have 6 themed gardens all with heirloom plants already planned out. In addition to the plants customers will also receive garden preparation information as well as a planting guide for the garden. Anyone can go to the local home improvement stores and pick up a bunch of regular plants but they don't often get good advice on how to grow them! My favorite garden so far is the
Tomato Lover's Garden, because I love tomatoes, but there are several other gardens in multiple sizes that help to fill out the backyard garden.
We're starting off as a small nursery and are only delivering in and around Spring Hill, Tennessee but are happy to make arrangements for people to pick up their garden boxes. I hope you'll head over to the
Facebook page for The Home Garden Box and like us! Then take a look around at the themed vegetable and herb gardens we're assembling.
If you're nearby and we can help you start your garden this year please give us a try!
How exciting, Dave! And how smart of you to put together collections of various sizes and types, and offering to deliver them, rather than trying to sell individual plants from your own place. Brilliant ideas. Best of luck in your new venture!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful Dave. I wish you well with this new venture you are planning.
ReplyDeleteYou are making it happen. I hope it is a big success. Great way to get started.
ReplyDeleteCongrats and I wish you great luck!!
ReplyDeleteThat's so exciting! I love your box idea. That makes planning your garden so easy :)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea. Good luck with your newq venture.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! My dad runs a nursery (trees and shrubs, not food plants) so feel free to email if you have any questions. Certain veggie plants obviously cross-pollinate and so won't come true to seed, but most people probably don't care.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on starting up a business! You are indeed the King of Progation and I know you will do well.... Good Luck!
