Friday at the Botanical Center opening, I got into a conversation about setting up a plant exchange with Kurt van Dexter, a landscape architect who has been working for several years to establish gardens at schools, and who is one of the people involved with the Children's Garden Network.
Maybe this happens to you:
- Your new garden project requires discarding a perfectly healthy plant or maybe a tree.
- Or your yard produces so many new plants that you don't have room for all of them.
Your friends and neighbors won't take any more of your plants, and there aren't any plant sales to give them to. Yet it seems a shame to throw out the plants. They may be perfect for someone else's garden.
What can we do about this? Add comments to this post!
I'd love to see this happen, and craigslist is just too big a forum. BTW, I'm looking for up to six brussels sprouts plants. I gave away my extra vegs, but I can always split perennials or invite folks to dig up violets, morning glories, lemon balm, etc.
