And what about growing plants just for their seeds? Seeds of newer varieties of saintpaulias often bring as much as $750.00 per ounce!

Help Yourself-Take Courses
It’s possible for you to partake in courses for such things as a florist or landscape nurseryman. You don’t even have to take the courses in a classroom setting, if you don’t want to. You can take these types of courses online or through the mail.
Most every university offers these types of courses if you do want to take them in a classroom setting. As mentioned, if you do not wish to take them in a classroom setting, many very well recognized schools will teach you online or through the mail. By taking such types of courses you’ll be broadening your horizons and knowledge of plants.
These schools have prominent horticulturists on their staffs, and they stand ready to help with all of your “growing and selling” problems. One of the landscape schools is now adding to its curriculum a course in greenhouse growing and management. My brother, a major in the United States Army, will retire at the age of forty-three. Looking ahead, he and his wife took a florist course. Upon retirement, they will build and stock a small greenhouse and open a florist shop.
