Wish I lived close. The photos are a great idea. I think it will up sales immensely. We have had record heat and my gardens are suffering. I have been trying to whip them into shape since we returned home after vacationing for 17 days. We are on water restrictions and it shows. I have not been able to do garden posts. Think I might have one for this week. Your pots look lovely. Mine are just at a stand still.

And your laminated plant signs will certainly help the novice when shopping.<br /><br />As for you pots - they look amazing.

People appreciate a bargain and I was amply rewarded in not having to spend a small fortune out of my regular budget on plants that might not take to my garden...

I decided to go check it out, and found a lady selling her extra plants from her beautiful gardens. I love those plants now in my garden.

I am going to leave them on the plants longer and then cut them off. I haven't forgotten about you!!<br />Great idea for the pictures on your plants!<br />There is a lady here that sells in her front yard (about 5 blocks away) and she also sold at one of the plant sales that one of the garden clubs put on, and she was one of the busiest vendors. Probably because she was the most reasonably priced.HeatherF1https://www.blogger.com/profile/01431413768605555143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412585995029504644.post-28564362608559584842013-06-27T06:52:59.587-07:002013-06-27T06:52:59.587-07:00what a sweet idea! wish i lived closer...sigh...what a sweet idea! wish i lived closer...sigh...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16748085148393959903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412585995029504644.post-15050840046920743522013-06-27T05:07:26.126-07:002013-06-27T05:07:26.126-07:00I know a couple of nursery owners that started out...I know a couple of nursery owners that started out this way Tracie. :-)<br />I've held a plant sale before but for the most part donate all my divisions to my garden club spring plant sale.

I have thought about what to do with my extra plants (mostly hostas!!), and considered setting some in pots along the roadside just to get rid of them. I see a few people around that sell their perennials too.
