If you love gardening, turning your backyard into a seedling business can be surprisingly easy and profitable. I started small, just a few trays of vegetable seedlings for sale at my local farmer’s market, and demand grew fast. People prefer local seedlings because they adapt better to the climate and arrive stronger than store-bought ones.
Start with fast-growing plants like tomatoes, basil, and peppers. You’ll only need soil trays, seeds, and sunlight, which makes the startup cost super low. As customers come back for more, expand into seasonal plants and herbs. It’s a simple side hustle that can grow into a full-fledged plant nursery business.
