Answer 1

Some of the best plants to sell at an open air market are:

Evergreen Trees & Shrubs: 6 month seedlings could be sold for $1.50-$3.00 each, If you want to invest some longer time in growing these type of trees and shrubs, you can grow them for 2-3 years and rake in $9.00-$20.00 each. Number one rule... keep them looking lush and green.

Iris & Tulips: Bulbs are a great seller, but you'll need to take a picture to show what they will look like, especially colors. Many folks are extremely particular as to color and pattern of their favorite yard plants. Allot of folks are also looking to collect different colors as well. Because these are ready to start blooming in early to late spring, and if you're wanting to sell them as whole plants, you are better off planting them in the fall for the first spring sale. You can get about $3.00-$10.00 for each plant.

Mums: are always a crowd pleaser, plus they are easy to grow. For 1 year plant you can get about $5.00 each, and for 2-3 year plants you can get about $9.00-$15.00 each.

Fruit bearing Trees and Bushes: With the Eco-Terra Landscaping movement, folks a swapping lawns and none productive plants to a more bountiful, purposeful and sustainable element to their yards. This is probably the market most will want to tackle this year and throughout the next decade. Who knows, this might take off as hot as the cell phone booster craze, but with real true-to-life purpose.
