Mushroom growing kits and succulent terrariums are also strong sellers. Kits targeting specific interests like pizza herbs or cocktail garnishes outperform generic kits.
Purchase seeds from wholesale seed companies like Johnny's Selected Seeds, True Leaf Market, or Botanical Interests wholesale. Source containers, soil, and grow lights from horticultural suppliers. Assemble kits in-house or work with a co-packer for higher volume.
