    This week on Greenhorn Radio Sev speaks to Marguerite of Mother Plants Nursery in upstate NY. Mother Plants specializes in baby plants that are green-roof ready, so you can jump start the "green" part of your green roof. They have a seemingly infinite amount of low maintenance, draft tolerant, "plug-size" plants and can deliver anywhere UPS is willing to trek. Their goal is to be a catalyst for the public's growing interest in green roofs, and facilitate not only the start of new roofs, but to ensure current roofs are the botanical wonderlands their owners had envisioned. This episode was sponsored by Hearst Ranch: purveyors of all natural grass-fed cattle from the coast of California.

    the young farming population giving us an edible future, Hearst Ranch, Marguerite, Mother Plants Nursery, specifically growing plants for green roofs, their business is wherever UPS can take plants, the genus Cetum, Kelly the growing manager is full time during the growing season, a pretty small operation, Marguerite likes a small scale farm, its a niche market, they want to compete directly with gian nurserys that offer the same plants, working with people to find out what plants would work best for them, Mother Plants share space with another different enterprises, it costs money to build new tractor sheds, sharing space with a timber framer, using an old hay barn as a timber framing shop, renting an acre frmo an inner city lot in exchange for mechanical expertise, Marguerite's background is organic livestock farming, there is a large vibrant organic veggie community in Ithica, Marguerite did not want to compete with friends in her community in Ithica, Marguerite does not have a subsidy to keep her from having to pay a mortgage so she needed a business that had a reliable return, the nursery trade did not interest her before but she has a strong personal conviction towards doing something good and green for the world,

    why is Ithica a great place to live?, juxtaposing rural living with diverse culture, there are restaurants and people from all over, its like living in the big city but with rolling cornfields, a more mature local food community, finding niches you can actually make a living in, Marguerite did not want to be a typical delivery girl, many of our young farmers thinking through their business are trying to strategize how to get a higher profit margin so they can make some babies, how does Marguerita get her barns painted?, there is no online presence for nomadic barn painting operations, holes in the organic system, more players will strengthen the organic movement, there is a strong difference between farming as a lifestyle and for fun and farming as making a living and for a job, hanging geraniums as an unexpected cash crop, people will spend WAY more money on pretty ornamental flowers than on organic food, people haggle over food and not useless pretty flowers, wanting to grow things that are edible and useful, take a small business course at a local credit union!, pick the brains of other small business owners in similiar fields!,
