I have a bunch of landscaping to do of my own yard ($2000 or more in plants 
to purchase).  I have been advised that I can get a nuresery business license 
from the state for $45 and buy my plants from a wholesale nursery at a lower 
price that at a retail place.  I may resell a small quantity of plants to 
friends if I have the energy to organize this, but that is not my main 
purpose in getting the license.  As long as my sales a below a certain level, 
I won't have taxes to pay to the state.  What is the catch here?  It sounds 
like I'm getting something for the nothing (buying plants at wholesale 
prices).  Could someone please explain the wholesale nursery business to me?  
Can I by a few plants here, a few plants there, or do wholesale places only 
deal in big orders?  Is the wholesale/retail distinction all about tracking 
who pays what taxes?
