| Since you are looking into doing this commercially, I would suggest you work wiht the county extension in the area where you are headed. Here is a link to get you started; if you scroll down that page to the bottom left there are some additional resources you may find helpful. http://gardenguide.montana.edu... They should be able to help you determine which plants would be best suited to the area and growing conditions as well as possibly work on a locally appropriate business/marketing plan for your greenhouse business. Here is some information about planting natives in Montana. http://www.umt.edu/mnps/landsc... The Montana Nursery and Landscape Association might be a good resource for you. http://www.plantingmontana.com... Another resource might be through your current wholesale contacts. I hope some of this is helpful in your planning. Best of luck with your move! |
