What do you think the cost saving would be in growing your own vs bringing in. These day, with the price of trucking, it seems that anything you can do that doesn't involve transportation is going to be cheaper. It seems like the trucking might be as much as the cost of 300-500 perenials are.

When you consider the time spent unloading and stocking the plants, it might equal the time spent potting and stocking, and you won't get any damage from transporting.

Just wondering what the gross profit margin you are counting on and whether it really makes sense. I'm not sure how many you plan to grow, so that may make it more sense yet.
