Flowers to sell in June
Next year we are aiming to have a stall at the annual Amersham carnival
for the gardening Club. We are going to have to encourage members to grow plants that will be hopefully in flower or at least attractive to buyers at that time. Apart from Fuchsia, impatiens, and geraniums etc. is there anything else that anyone can recommend we suggest the members grow?

Janet -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk How about growing some Marigolds in plastic pots and selling those? By June they will be in full flower AND going to seed. "Look after the plant, even plant it in your garden and harvest the seeds for next year. You will always have Marigolds in YOUR garden then" Buying a pot plant which will produce flowers for years to come ;-) Mike |

writes I find that pots of 3 different herbs sell well. Either, 3 very easy basic ones, attractive to beginners or people with no garden (chives, mint, marjoram) or three less usual (3 fancy mints, 3 different basils or thymes, 3 with variegated leaves). Janet Good idea, I'll try that , I bought a lot of unusual herbs from Jekka McV.'s stand at Chelsea. Janet -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk |

Hi Janet, If you want a plant that sells itself, is easy to propagate and grow and is quick to make a saleable plant, from my experience of being the largest seller of plants at the major Cornish car boot sales I would go for Marguerites in all the colours. |
