I want to start a small edible landscaping business/nursery, does anyone have any advice?

Ryan M asked:


I want to specialize in selling edible landscaping plants - fruit trees, vines, shrubs, etc. I am planning on setting this up on the west coast of the US in about 2 years. Anyone have any suggestions on steps I can take now that will help me in the future? Has anyone tried this before?

    Check that whatever area you’re going to try this in doesn’t already have similar services already in place. You need to find you own niche in the market in order to try and compete with businesses that may have been going for decades.
