You could get plants from either your Local Horticulture department or Forest Department they give 500-800saplings free per person it is a Govt order.You could get all good varieties including fruits there except Ornamental plants for which they charge nominal fee.
For books please visit Flipkart.com: Online Shopping India: Buy Books Online: Mobiles, Camera Store
You could type anything in search and could pay Cash on Delivery also
For tree seeds please visit Agriculture Plants,Forestry Plants,Plants Seeds Suppliers In India they have Thousands of variety of seeds and could accept small orders on request you could get any seeds there.
For pots please visit Kabad mandi to get Cheap plastic pots for growing.
For immediate results in growing buy least some Gibralic acid also it will benefit Most including cow dung and Urea.
If people are poor in your area try to grow Fruit trees because consider a Good Grafted mango tree produce Tonnes of fruit in just 2-3years which could be distributed to malnourished people.
Research your local area and the Internet to find wholesale sources of plants and seeds, as well as potting mixes and containers. Do not pay retail prices for supplies, because everything you buy retail can be purchased wholesale. If you buy supplies retail, you cannot make a profit. Also research competing retail or wholesale locations to see what prices they are charging for the products you would like to produce. You may find that you cannot produce a certain product and sell it at the same price as a large department store or wholesale nursery without losing money.

Get to know your market before you begin to grow your plants so you can get an idea of how much to grow of each item you are planning to sell. This involves doing research to find out how many people live in your area and what types of plants they might be interested in buying. For example, a small town with many older people may produce customers that are generally interested in vegetable plants and a few herbs or flowering plants. On the other hand, people in a rapidly growing community with many young families would be interested in larger landscaping plants such as trees and shrubs.

5
Attract customers to your business by advertising in the local press, setting up a website with information about your business and products offered, doing presentations for local community organizations and offering tours of your facilities. The cost of advertising is going to vary greatly from location to location and may be prohibitive for a new business owner, but the cost of offering your plant-growing expertise to members of the community can be quite low. Local schools and organizations such as garden clubs are always excited to find speakers to visit their club meetings.


Best Of Luck
