Sourcing Native Plants: or, Native Plants on a Shoestring

Native plant gardening on a shoestring.
Holli Richey, Dennis Bishop, Stephen Eselgroth, Bill Moll and others will discuss various ways to acquire native plants at low or no cost by cooperating with your neighbors.

• Sharing Plants – gardeners have extra plants through reseeding or division.
• Sharing Orders – flats of plugs are inexpensive, but you may not want 49 plugs of one species; bare root shrubs and trees come in bundles of 100, but you probably want just a few.
• Sharing Seeds – many native plants grow readily from seeds which can be shared for free.
