"Free Plants, Seeds and Flowers"
 

"Free Plants, Seeds and Flowers"

Home gardeners give away free plants and flowers almost every day on the new GardenHere Internet site. Home gardeners save $10's, --even $100's on their landscape and home gardening projects. It's easy, fun, and a great way to make new friends. Visitors to GardenHere forums find listings of free plants, flowers, and seeds or place a notice telling other members what they are looking for.



“Giving away extra plants is a tradition for many home gardeners,” says webpage owner Al Stubblefield. “Just this year, I sent Fuchsia starts to a home gardener in Arizona and Wisteria, Ivy, and Daylilies to GardenHere members in Wisconsin, North Dakota, Montana, and Oregon –all free. It took only a short trip to the post office for me and the cost of postage for my new home gardening friends.”



One forum member from Adair,Oklahoma said, “I have just recently found this forum (Website) and absolutely love it. If anyone would be interested in some Bearded Irises, please let me know.

I have three beds that are extremely out of control!” Another home gardener from Boulder, Montana had this to say about the GardenHere Website, “I just wanted to thank you for this wonderful website you have created. This is a great idea . . .!”



No self-respecting home gardener would throw plants in the compost pile when someone else might like to have them in their yard? "I’ve already gotten free Irises, Columbine, Daylilies, Hosta, Azaleas, Liriope, and Pachysandra," said Stubblefield.



Any home gardener can do the same thing simply by finding what they want in the garden forums and responding or placing their own message. Most home gardeners enjoy giving away extra plants or exchanging them for something they don’t already have.




"Exchanging Plants, Seeds and Flowers is the Neighborly Thing To Do!"
