Where can I find cheap plants?

Question

I want to do a mass planting

Clint · Answer

I'm in the UK myself but I have often seen that you can find local people who are giving plants away for cheap or free when they have a surplus. So I think a good place to start would be a classifieds site. Over here I would use Gumtree but maybe in the US you would use Craigslist?

Hope that helps!

Jan · Answer

Thanks Clint I will definitely try it.  Not sure why I didn't think of it myself.  I use Craigslist on a regular basis for other things.

Janet Pizaro · Answer

Also the the classified ads in your local town. Many nurseries are offering plants at a discount this time of year.

Sue Kiene · Answer

There are all kinds of websites for free items or resale. Craigslist, recycler.com, ebay classifieds, offerup, oodle, adoos, backpage, and lots more. Remember please that you should always take someone else with you if you are going to meet up with someone you do not know especially since many times with plants you would be meeting someone at a home. SAFETY FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Friends have told me they've stopped workers who are tearing out seasonal plants and replacing them on median strips, at grocery stores, around communities and asked for the plants. They were going to be trashed anyway.

Darline · Answer

If your city does median plantings, they often have a giveaway when they redo the areas.  Check and see if they also sell their nursery leftovers.

Many plants need dividing in the fall or spring in order for them to thrive. Hosta, daisy,, coneflower, lily, daffodil, etc.  perhaps your neighbors would be willing to give you a few when they divide their plants.

We have wholesale nurseries in our area. Many are located under the electric transmission lines.  They also grow Christmas trees at some of these places. You may want to check for wholesale places that are open to the public  in your area.
