This review is from: Plants for Profit: Income Opportunities in Horticulture (Hardcover)
A lot of growing info and what does not work, but some good ideas make this book worth while reading. Wish it had more on the art of selling the plants. Bought Secrets to a Successful Greenhouse and Business, after this one and do highly reccomend it. Love my greenhouse so much!
