Re: mom & pop nurseries
All the commentary on this subject has been so timely and encouraging as
I embark/transistion into this very business..
I have for 7+yrs.sold 'exotic'produce to my areas up scale restaurants
but my love of the unusual has grown to encompass the flower garden as
well so here I am 'betwixt and between'.
Its not without trepidation that I venture forth so thank you all for
your comments without your knowing it you have cheered me on.
Appreciatively,
Connie
