• Get parent stock from a well-established nursery owned by an experienced operator.
• To acquire seeds, try the national seed centre at Namanve. They are the most reliable source of seeds in the country, especially for trees.
• Nurseries survive on a strong customer base. Make sure your customers have their needs met. If what they want is not in stock, help them look for it. They will appreciate that extra effort.
• Learn the names of all the plants in your nursery. Your clients will need as much information as possible before taking the plants home.
