"Easy Plant and Flower Exchange Free at New Home Garden Website"

CHEVERLY, MD July 28, 2003 — A brand new home gardening Internet site makes it easy to get plants and flowers free. Internet visitors at www.GardenHere.com find forum messages offering free garden plants, flowers, and seeds. Those who register (free) can also post notices about plants they want to acquire or have to give away.

"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 . . .!"

Of course, there is more than one way to get free plants for home landscape and garden projects. One home gardener wrote that she had saved over $200 just by removing plants for a contractor who was about to demolish an abandoned property. "I doubled the number of Azaleas in our yard simply by learning how to propagate them, and I turned one small pot of Hosta into twelve by dividing them when I got home from the store," said Stubblefield.

Most home gardeners are willing to exchange or give away their extra plants. Why would any self-respecting home gardener throw plants in the compost pile when someone else might like to have them in their yard?

I've gotten free Irises, Columbine, Daylilies, Hosta, Azaleas, Liriope, and Pachysandra. Any home gardener can do the same thing by finding what they want in the GardenHere forums at www.GardenHere.com and responding or placing their own messages. If they have extra plants, they can share them with other GardenHere members –either give them away or exchange them for a plant they don't already have.
