We've visited a couple of sales this spring to sell plants for our #nursery and I wanted to share some of the mechanics that go in to that.

We have a landscape trailer, 10.5' long by 5' wide. I can fit about 180 to 200 plants in trade 1 gallon pots onto that trailer.

After we load, and this is KEY, I cover the plants up with a shade cloth tarp to prevent the wind from ripping all the leaves off while we are driving.

At the event, we've either set up the plants on low tables or on the ground. I have information sheets with me (DM me and I'll send you the PDFs!) as well as setting up a sign with our offerings.

My goal the more I do this is to create a more exciting and inviting booth. As I look at the pictures of our set up booth, I can see we need more color (as in flowering plants) as well as more abundance and variety of leaf shapes, plants, etc. So we are going to branch out a bit into things like lilacs, daylillies, hydrangea, etc.
