Structures required: A number of structures may be necessary for raising a nursery. To begin with, the following structures need to be constructed:

1. Workshed: The workshed of 6 m x 4.5 m with thatch roofs and locally available materials like bamboo, wood, etc. may be constructed. Total amount of Rs.6750/- @ Rs.250 per sq.m. has been considered for this purpose.
   
   
2. Polyhouse: The polyhouse of 9 m x 4 m dimension with 90 cm, brick wall, 3.6 m tall rhombus netting with expanded metal and polythene roof supported by local materials like bamboo, wood and planks, may be constructed. The cost estimated for such a house is approximately Rs.300.00 per sq.m. An additional lumpsum amount of Rs.2000.00 may be considered for construction of wooden racks inside the poly house.
   
   
3. Store-cum-office: A store-cum-office of 6.0 m x 4.5 m constructed with locally available materials may serve the purpose. For this, a rate of Rs. 350/- per sq.m. has been considered adequate.
   
   
4. Fencing: A goat proof fencing only will be effective for a nursery. For this model of 0.5 acre area, an amount of Rs.16250.00 has been considered as the total cost for erecting a goat-proof fencing around the boundary.

Land preparation:

• The land development for nursery is very important.

• In nursery, the land may be divided into minimum four parts: area for mother plant, area for seed production,area for raising flower seedlings and area for storing of seedlings or vegetatively propagated perennial plants.

• The land of a nursery is prepared by ploughing and cross ploughing.

• All kinds of waste materials are to be removed and the land must be levelled properly.
