Thinking About Starting Your Own Nursery?
If so, Tony's first book, So, You Want to Start a Nursery
is now available. You can order form our website. This comprehensive 300+
page book
touches on a broad range of issues that you will encounter as a prospective
nursery owner. If you or someone you know has been thinking about the "n"
word, save lots of time, money, and heartache by learning ahead of time
what will be involved. Small nurseries looking to expand will also benefit
from the detailed information. Topics covered range from selecting the
type of nursery that you will start, selecting land, irrigation, writing a
catalog, pricing plants, the effect of the nursery business on family
relationships, handling employees, as well as marketing your plants. We
think you will find this to be a thought-provoking information-packed book
that fills a huge void in the practical how-to world of running a nursery.
Price is $24.95 + $5 shipping and handling for the book only, or the per
plant charge for your state if also ordering plants. (NC residents add $1.75
sales tax.) Please indicate if you would like an autographed copy.

What They're Saying...
"I'm sure it will be a primary reference in nursery
management classes for years to come, and will hold a
place in the library of many future successful nurserymen."
- Michael E. Chelednik
The Trillium, September 2003

comprehensive book covering all aspects of starting up a
nursery."
- Cynthia W. Mueller
Horticulture Update, September 2003
"When I saw his book "So You Want to Start a Nursery" I half
expected to open the cover and find a four-letter word: don't.
What I found instead was a comprehensive how-to textbook
as well as a sober reality check."
- Ken Druse
The New York Times, September 11, 2003
"If this is a lifestyle that interests you, then this book
is a must read."
- Bob Souvestre, August 17, 2003
This book far surpasses anything I've seen presenting this
subject. I think this sets a new standard for our industry.

"You'll find answers (or pointers to answers) here for
questions that you might otherwise never even think about
asking--until it's too late! Most importantly, the advice
here is from someone who has "been there, done that"
(or at least, has "been there, seen that")."
- Greg and Pat Williams
HortIdeas, September 2003
"This is an essential book for all those considering
horticulture as a profession. For those already
owning or working in a nursery it should be required reading."
- John E. Bryan
Gardening Newsletter, October 2003
Befitting Avent's effervescent personality and commercial
acumen, he steers clear of penning a purely
technical manual, and alternatively presents a thoughtful,
realistic overview on how to go about building
and managing an enterprise based upon cultivating, marketing,
and selling live plants.
