However, that doesn't mean they wouldn't like to add a touch of beauty to their home, by the way of your colourful plants. Especially, if you can offer these plants to these home owners at a cost, they just couldn't say no to.

These types of people aren't the clientele that local florists would target. The only other competition you'd have is places that sell plants at their locations. However, if you went door to door, and took the plants to these home owners, you could be very successful at selling your plants. After all, people are pressed for time, if you add the convenience of bringing the plants to them, you're that much further ahead.

"No Heat" Greenhouse Design

Heat is not essential for all kinds of greenhouse gardening. Although gloxinias, for instance, usually are grown in a well-heated house, a Minneapolis man has found out how to make a tidy profit from them without heat. In late February, he starts seedlings in his kitchen windows and in his basement under fluorescent lights. When the weather warms up in late April, he moves the seedlings to an unheated pit greenhouse. By August, when the local market is just right for selling gloxinias in flower, he has quantities-and florists clamor for them. Actually he could sell many more if he wanted to expand his little project. And this is carried on in a greenhouse, without heat, in Minnesota's cold north country.
