Herb

There is a very easy way to start earning money out of your herb garden once you have gained some experience in the herb garden delights of successfully producing your own stock of plants. I have already published articles on how to propagate herbs from seeds and cuttings which you could refer to.

What type of herbs do you grow? The two most popular categories of course are culinary herbs and medicinal herbs. There are purely decorative herbs and even herbs suitable for creating bonsai. So if you have concentrated purely on one category why not now start to put your experience to good use and branch out to the other areas.

O.k. let me stop being coy and admit that the purpose of publishing these articles is to promote my website where I am offering a free mini-course in herb gardening, and an in depth advice ebook. I have decided to offer as a bonus to my ebook another ebook covering in great detail this subject of making money from herb garden plants.

But why wait for that, here is a simple guide just to whet your appetite for a secondary income, or even a full time business venture. First, think of yourself as a customer and remember what herbs you most wanted when you were beginning. Perhaps there was an herb you just could not find at first. If so, imagine if someone else is also searching for it and would love to stumble upon your small business!

Were you keen to grow basil for culinary purposes or maybe tarragon because you thought of creating your own salad dressings? If you grow medicinal herbs, think which ones people would be most likely to buy.

There are many people that grow an aloe vera plant, not because they are herbalists or have any other interest in herb gardening. No, they grow aloe vera in case someone sustains a burn. The sap, from a cut branch of the plant, applied to the burn soothes and aids rapid healing. Believe me, it works! How many women do you know that have a feverfew plant just so they can chew a leaf when a migraine threatens?

How to Market Yourself

Probably the thought of marketing yourself conjures up all sorts of horrors. At first, it would seem like an insurmountable problem; but really it is quite simple. You would first use word of mouth by telling all of your friends and family; just let them know you have started this small business. You do not have to ask them to buy your products; but they will spread the word and it will travel from there.

Second, you could display flyers in local grocery stores who are happy to give display space for this. It is quick and cheap to advertise here. Also you could place a classified advertisement in your local newspaper. These papers are popular and cost very little to advertise in.

Get more adventurous and set up a plants and seedlings stall at your local flea market or boot sale. These are perfect venues because there are always people ready to spend a couple of dollars on something, and your produce could be that spur of the moment purchase. Do not be shy about having some business cards available and make sure everyone who stops to talk to you at your stall receives one.

How to Start Creating Stock

You need to start growing the herbs that you intend to sell. Get them planted in the late winter or early spring. Concentrate on a few herbs to start with and make sure they are in perfect health. After all, you want to give your customers top quality specimens so that they come back next season for more plants; and other items that you have now expanded into; such as packets of seeds, dried herbs, advice leaflets, culinary sauces and seasonings —.
