Plant sales: Any files for printing descriptors and images?

mensplace · February 19, 2010

I'm thinking that with the names of the plants that I will be taking to our weekly market in the spring that MOST of the locals have never heard of the varieties we discuss. Might any of you have a computer file that contains something along the lines of 4X5 like cards with images and descriptors that could be used to generate either a notebook or individual placard cards to print descriptions, history, images etc., so that potential buyers could at least see and read about what they would be considering purchasing? Seems otherwise, with the many old and especially the foreign names, they wouldn't have a clue.

Too, have any of you developed some sort of background sign to differentiate the value of these plants (features and benefits) in terms of quality and uniqueness, versus the standards grown or sold by the commercial outlets.? Deeper roots, better soil mixes, microrganisms added, unique varieties, transplantings to generate roots, rare varieties, etc.?

Call this a plant marketing thread...Other plants sales ideas?
