This is a project me and Edie are doing..

All gardeners have extra plants…

Maybe you don’t want it any more, maybe it self-seeded, maybe you’ve got a few too many seedlings, maybe it’s too big…

Don’t kill your plants! Pass them on to your neighbours!

Put them out in pots and let the people in your neighbourhood take them. Encourage them to grow them and…

Maybe they will pass plants on too…

If you put out 4 spare plants, and next year, everyone who got a plant puts out 4 spare plants and next year, everyone who got one of those puts out 4 plants…

Everyone gets a lot of plants! Everyone is happy!

You’re happy because you did a good thing! Your neighbours are happy because they got a free plant! The bees and butterflies are happy because there are loads of plants in your neighbourhood! Everyone in your neighbourhood is happy because there are beautiful flowers and lots of nature.
