<p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style= "font-family: Inter, Open Sans, sans-serif;"><span style= "font-size: medium;">Hey friends! I'm super excited to have my friend and fellow herbalist, Marla Alexander, on the show today! In addition to running an herbal seed library, Marla has been growing plant starts for bigger and bigger plant sales every year for quite a while now. She currently organizes a large Denver-based plant sale every spring and coordinates growing lists for three different growers that provide the plants for that sale.</span></span></span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style= "font-family: Inter, Open Sans, sans-serif;"><span style= "font-size: medium;">Today we'll dive into Marla's tips and tricks and she'll share TONS of knowledge and advice for how to make sure your plant sale is successful. This is a great potential way to make a little sidehustle income for your homestead, or to just deepen your community connections by offering plants to neighbors, community gardens, etc. In the past, doing a small spring and/or fall plant sale has been an easy way to at least cover the cost of our farm's seed order for the year.</span></span></span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style= "font-family: Inter, Open Sans, sans-serif;"><span style= "font-size: medium;">Also, after we finished recording the episode, Marla reached out with one more piece of advice for the planning/prep portion of the episode: she suggested having signage for each species of plant being offered, if possible with photos included of the mature plants, to help people visualize what they will look like after growing. Marla said to make sure to laminate your signs for easy re-use the following year! This is especially great because it lets more introverted folks get the info they need without having to talk to you, and it leaves you free to focus on helping people with sales! It might be a bit of work on the front end, but they're reusable so you'll just have to add new signs for any new plants you add to your grow list the next season :)</span></span></span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style= "font-family: Inter, Open Sans, sans-serif;"><span style= "font-size: medium;">~*~*~*~*~*~</span></span></span></p> <p align="left"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style= "font-family: Inter, Open Sans, sans-serif;"><span style= "font-size: medium;">Connect with Marla on <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/roots_medicine_gardens" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Instagram</a></span></span></span></p> <p align="left"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style= "font-family: Inter, Open Sans, sans-serif;"><span style= "font-size: medium;">The <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/herbseedlibrary/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">herb seed library</a> that Marla started!</span></span></span></p> <p align="left"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style= "font-family: Inter, Open Sans, sans-serif;"><span style= "font-size: medium;">The <a href= "https://gemplers.com/products/plastic-plant-labels" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">plant labels</a> that Marla recommended in the episode.</span></span></span></p> <p align="left"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style= "font-family: Inter, Open Sans, sans-serif;"><span style= "font-size: medium;">~*~*~*~*~*~</span></span></span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style= "font-family: Inter, Open Sans, sans-serif;"><span style= "font-size: medium;">Our </span></span></span><a href= "https://nordicfoxfarm.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener"><span style="color: #008080;"><span style= "font-family: Inter, Open Sans, sans-serif;"><span style= "font-size: medium;">farm shop</span></span></span></a><span style= "color: #000000;"><span style= "font-family: Inter, Open Sans, sans-serif;"><span style= "font-size: medium;"> is full of goodies for you!</span></span></span> <span style= "color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Inter, Open Sans, sans-serif;"> <span style="font-size: medium;">If seasonal allergies are getting you down, I'd highly suggest our <a href= "https://nordicfoxfarm.com/products/green-spiral-tea" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">Green Spiral Tea</a>!</span></span></span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style= "font-family: Inter, Open Sans, sans-serif;"><span style= "font-size: medium;">SPRING TEA SALE!!!
