Starting a Greenhouse Business

Summary

Georgia has a diverse and growing floriculture industry built primarily around bedding plant and flowering pot plant production. However, Georgia is a deficit market (greater demand than supply) and will likely remain so for the foreseeable future. This bulletin describes how Georgia is in a position to realize sustained growth in the floriculture industry for many years to come. On the demand side, the state will become one of the fastest growing areas in the nation. Types of cultivars, finances, needed experience, and points of contact are discussed.
