Sell Flowers And Plants From Your GardenEarn money from home by selling flowers and plants from your garden. Information and advice to help you make cash from gardening when you sell flowers and plants from your garden:: 
If you have a garden and enjoy growing flowers and plants then you can make extra money from home doing your hobby when you sell flowers and plants from your garden.
If you have an extra supply of plants, seedlings or flowers in bloom or bud then try selling flowers at your front door,
by the path or road. This how to sell flowers article will give you tips, information and advice to help you make extra cash from gardening.
The extra money from selling flowers won't make you a fortune, but it will give you an additional income source that may help to pay for gardening supplies like compost, seeds, equipment, bulbs, plants or extra garden treats. It won't really feel like work because you are doing something you enjoy and will benefit from bringing some beautiful plants and flowers into other people's lives. It gives you an extra pride in your garden when you sell your flowers and plants. Consider your house and where you can safely leave a table of plants or a bucket or pail with bunches of fresh flowers. For example if you have a long path and don't really want people walking into your garden then leave the items for sale at the edge of the driveway. Do use as good a table or bucket as you can which is safe to leave in a public area. Use fresh water in the bucket to keep the flowers you are selling fresh looking. Water the for sale plants throughout the day to prevent wilting. Do use a bucket or table that you will not miss if it gets stolen - sadly you need to think of people doing such things. We have fortunately never experienced any theft when we sell flowers and plants but for the same reason you may want to limit what plant and flower stock you put out. If you are home during the day it won't take long to restock the flowers and plants for sale. It will also keep the flowers fresher looking if they are cut hours before they are sold. How To Sell FlowersThere are several ways to collect money when people buy plants and flowers from your garden. You could leave an honesty box on the table of plants or by the bucket of flowers. Do leave a sign describing how to make payment, where to leave it and the prices. This will stop you from being bothered by people ringing the door bell with payments. The disadvantage of this is that it could get stolen, though you could empty it periodically throughout the day. Another disadvantage is that people need to have the exact change. Try and plan your blooms and plants for seasonal occasions such as Mother's Day. Your neighbours and passers by will happily buy fresh flowers on Mothering Sunday. 
An alternative is to ask people to drop the money through your letter box or to ring the door bell for change when you sell flowers. The
disadvantages of this is that dropping coins could cause abrasion damage to your paintwork or wallpaper, or as we have found,
could be grabbed by the children first! Fortunately the dog has grown to ignore these coins and has never tried to eat
them. This method of collecting payment from selling flowers is great for building up your customer base and some people could become
regular customers of your freshly cut flowers and plants.
Some sellers of garden plants and flowers have a charity collection box or tin which they lock to their gate or hammer down onto a fence. They leave this until it is full or until the end of the growing and flowering season. This is then unlocked or removed from the fence and donated to the charity. Some charities will happily provide a branded collection tin for those who sell flowers from their home. Tips For Selling Items From Your GardenIf you live on a route taken by children going to school you may wish to consider putting your items for sale out after 9am and bringing them in between 3 and 4 pm. Some kids may decide to take the items for their teacher or mum and not pay. Sadly some children will take delight in vandalising your table or bucket and destroying your flowers and plants. Do put a sign asking people to respect your garden and privacy. This may help to stop people from wandering around your private garden, studying plants or taking cuttings. Fellow gardeners may think it fair game to help themselves because they think you are a commercial outfit. Collect old plastic and disposable plant containers, trays and pots from friends and family. Some garden centres will happily give these out for free rather than see them thrown out. Do wash these thoroughly to make them look cleaner and more presentable and help to stop the spread of any plant diseases. Income earnt from selling plants and flowers from your garden should be declared to the inland revenue on your annual self assessment tax form. You can claim expenses such as compost, seeds, bulbs, table, labels, etc. If these are to be used for your own enjoyment you should claim a percentage of the total on the receipts. Earning from your garden and selling flowers can be lucrative during the spring and summer seasons. Above all enjoy selling your flowers and plants from your garden and take delight in bringing colour and fragrance to people's lives.

If you would like to ask a question about selling flowers or how to sell flowers then please use the e-mail in the contact link to the right. Questions about how to sell flowers: I read with interest your advice and information regarding selling your garden's produce (flowers, plants, vegetables etc). I would like to sell the flower seeds from my own garden, but I was told that I might have to obtain a licence for that and seeds need to be certified and regulated before selling them to the public. I thought it would be a simple thing to do, just selling a few packets a flower seeds in nice seed packets. Could you please advice me on that. Many thanks. Findextrawork have not mentioned selling seeds from your own gardening efforts in this sell flower page because of the strict laws that govern this. There are many laws covering the selling of seeds for profit and these are primarily in place to prevent the spread of plant and flower diseases and to ensure that seeds are grown in sterile conditions. The subject of selling seeds is beyond our experience and knowledge but when we have websites that we can direct visitors to we shall add them to this sell flowers article. One such resource is the UK Plant Varieties and Seeds Act 1964. |
