Product/service description

Sell a variety of plants that can be grown in pots, seeds of vegetables and flowering plants, organic fertilizers, pesticides, gardening soil mix, homemade compost, decorative pots, gardening tools and accessories. The business will focus on the gardening requirements of apartments, offices and other small spaces.

Market Scope/ Potential

These days, as the environment is degrading, growing plants has become a necessity. However, not everyone has a big land to grow trees. People living in apartments and small spaces need plants that can easily be grown in pots and require less effort and maintenance. Therefore, a nursery which specialises in selling plants and other materials mostly suitable for small balconies can flourish easily. Homemade compost is again an elixir for the plants. A nursery that sells genuine homemade compost can make huge profits.

Opportunities

1. The competition is less. Though there are nurseries selling plants and other stuffs, they generally focus on big gardens. Nurseries focusing only on potted plants and small spaces plants are less. Moreover, the supermarkets that sell plants and garden accessories are very costly and not many people can afford them.

2. Not many nurseries sell vegetable seeds that can easily grow in pots. 

3. The investment is less and nursery can be easily started if one has a little backyard space.

4. Initially, the plants can be bought from a whole seller, but later the many of them can be easily propagated at home.

5. Organic compost can easily be made at home by just using kitchen scraps.

Risks

1. Some plants need special care and can die if proper conditions are not given.

2. Watering and fertilizing of plants are necessary and one has to do it diligently.

3. The soil of the pots gets dried up very easily during summer months.

4. There should be a proper place to store decorative pots and garden accessories, otherwise there is a chance of them being spoilt.

5. Plants take time to grow so immediate huge demand of a particular plant cannot be fulfilled.

6. Homemade compost takes about three months to be completely formed, so the production takes time.

7. Seeds can be spoilt by worms if they are not stored properly.

8. Plants can be attacked by pests.

Entrepreneurial qualities

To start a nursery one does not need any specific qualities. Anyone can start a nursery, if he/she owns a land and knows a little about the care of plants, composting, making soil mix and propagating. However, a lot of hard work and discipline is required. A little planning is also required to sort out details like where to buy the wholesale stock from, where to store the surplus products, how to attract the customers and how to aesthetically present the products so that people are encouraged to buy them.

Do's

1. All the plants should be properly watered and fertilized.

2. Store all the seeds, pots and tools in a proper place.

3. Propagation of plants and preparation of compost should be planned well in advance so that the stock is always ready to sell.

Don't

1. Don't buy too many plants at a time. Look at the sale and then decide.

Conclusion

This business is for people who have a little land or backyard space, zeal to work with plants, motivation to remain disciplined and business skills to sell the products.
