So You Want to Start a Nursery Review: Ive never been so pleasantly surprised by my own ignorance until i read this book - Chock full of information and should be required reading for anyone considering the nursery business. Although thorough enough for serious or large scale nurseries, the wisdoms so generously shared in this book are useful, and sometimes applicable to even the smallest backyard nursery. If you are even contemplating starting a nursery, of any size, the best business decision you'll make will be reading this book cover to cover with high lighter in hand. I learned so much from this book, I firmly believe it will pay for itself over and over: by helping me prevent common & potential oversights and mistakes, with time, money and heart ache saving advice, and tips to improve, promote and prosper my business. Review: A straight-shooting guide for nursery start-ups - Tony Avent owns Plant Delights Nursery, known for its sometimes offensive but always memorable plant catalogs, and the wild selection of unusual plants. Tony's brash, honest, and a straight shooter. If you want to be coddled and told how easy it all will be, look elsewhere as that's not Tony's style. But I laughed out loud nearly every page from his bitingly sarcastic wit and found myself nodding my head as we walked me through the many pitfalls in operating your own nursery, and his reasoning in choosing certain ways to operate over others. The general feeling I get from reading is that if you can make it through this book with your desire to own a nursery intact, then you might just have what it takes to actually operate one. Even if you're just curious about what it's like to own a nursery, like I was, it's an engaging read. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #163,395 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #108 in Gardening & Horticulture Reference (Books) #149 in Gardening Encyclopedias #2,852 in Short Stories (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 239 Reviews | ## Images ![So You Want to Start a Nursery - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81TokWrHmTL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ive never been so pleasantly surprised by my own ignorance until i read this book *by A***R on March 25, 2017* Chock full of information and should be required reading for anyone considering the nursery business. Although thorough enough for serious or large scale nurseries, the wisdoms so generously shared in this book are useful, and sometimes applicable to even the smallest backyard nursery. If you are even contemplating starting a nursery, of any size, the best business decision you'll make will be reading this book cover to cover with high lighter in hand. I learned so much from this book, I firmly believe it will pay for itself over and over: by helping me prevent common & potential oversights and mistakes, with time, money and heart ache saving advice, and tips to improve, promote and prosper my business. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A straight-shooting guide for nursery start-ups *by G***N on December 12, 2010* Tony Avent owns Plant Delights Nursery, known for its sometimes offensive but always memorable plant catalogs, and the wild selection of unusual plants. Tony's brash, honest, and a straight shooter. If you want to be coddled and told how easy it all will be, look elsewhere as that's not Tony's style. But I laughed out loud nearly every page from his bitingly sarcastic wit and found myself nodding my head as we walked me through the many pitfalls in operating your own nursery, and his reasoning in choosing certain ways to operate over others. The general feeling I get from reading is that if you can make it through this book with your desire to own a nursery intact, then you might just have what it takes to actually operate one. Even if you're just curious about what it's like to own a nursery, like I was, it's an engaging read. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Considering the business aspects. *by R***O on October 2, 2013* Although this book does contain a bit of information about cultivation of plant life, such as a basic run down of soil , nutrients, and pest/pesticides , it is more focused on the business aspect of running the nursery. Expect to hear about choosing land (buying vs. renting), water sources, laws regarding your land, organizations and licenses to be aware of, forming the company, making a catolouge , employess, insurance, financial figures and such. A decent read with some good points to consider. If you are going into commercial growing and selling it wouldn't hurt to give it a read. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/7275372-so-you-want-to-start-a-nursery](https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/7275372-so-you-want-to-start-a-nursery) --- *Product available on Desertcart Panama* *Store origin: PA* *Last updated: 2026-07-06*
