This is a good plan to consider for extra income from nursery stock.
You could be a subcontractor for them. Contract grow out of
field-grown stock, B&B or container growout or produce liners or 
seedlings for them from seed or cuttings using open site, lath house or 
greenhouse. I expect you would broaden the range of plant material they 
could sell and they would be glad to have you there as a reliable source 
of nursery stock, from their inventory list and/or yours.
