Project
Farm Name
Naturally Grown Plant Nursery
Farm Project Description
We are a native and herbal plant nursery in our first year of business. Over the last year we have grown, harvested and propagated plants while developing our business model. Currently we are looking for space to grow our business and our plants. We will market to the public, sell online and deliver, as well as bid for ecosystem restoration and jobs in the community to sell our stock.
We make our own compost and have low impact growing values. Many of our plants do not need full sun and would benefit from a couple of acres of part shade. We would like to put up a couple of large greenhouses and would incorporate rain collection.
