I know this might be off topic since I have no idea where you might be headed.
In all honesty it has been way easier for me to make money off plants where it is warmer instead of where it is colder.
I'm headed somewhere more subtropical than here and I wouldn't ever even thinking of moving to Colorado,much too cold for my blood! I also didn't know that Colorado has about 25 different species of cacti there! I learn something new every day

I'm fairly sure all those sellers at the farmer market are licensed.
imho, that sort of venue will tend to attract more attention from ag inspectors than private bazaars or mixed swap meets.
I believe that, if you concentrate your efforts toward important events, you would stand to make most of your money, over a few days.
In part, I am suggesting consignments and events, because I have never found that customers would come to me. I would have to go to them.
When I see businesses for sale, they are careful to mention whether they have an established clientèle.
I like the idea of 'If you build it, they will come,' but, in my experience, there would have to be a pre-existing market or built-in demand, to make your hard work worthwhile.
I open these threads to learn and compare notes. I do not assume that I know everything, but would save you some grief if I can. 
Also good info I've been researching,and it seems,that I can get away selling plants in my yard without a license,just like selling my junk on the front yard at a yard sale.I would just need to do it every once in a while,and not full time.I also Love the Craigslist suggestion I checked it out for the area that I'm moving to,and people are selling all types of plants,and garden stuff! I think between the yard,Craigslist,and swap meets,I can make some nice money
Thanks for all the help guys
