11thHHMM: Free Plants!!!!

Join more fun here!

(I accidentally deleted my photo of 'before', so imagine seeing a pile of broken off plant pieces:)
I found broken off plant pieces at Walmart garden section.
I gather them off the ground-and take them to the counter and ask for them-I have yet to be told no:)

These are Bolvarin Jew and Pink blooming Kalanchoe

I also asked for a trash box full of beautiful purple Caroline sweet potato vine at a nursery last May, and now (mom and I both) this pot is over-flowing everywhere!

  1. Wow! What a fabulous idea! My girls love picking up the silk flower pieces on the floor at Jo-Ann's. They come home and make pretty arrangements with their castoffs.

  5. I never thought of that. They just throw them anyway.

  6. So Carla, how did you break off all those leaves without the people at WalMart seeing you? haha
    I wish you lived nearby. I've stuck every Kalanchoe leaf that's ever broken into soil, and most of them have rooted. I've got more of them than I can say grace over and would share some with you!

  7. Carla, you always have such great tips! I never would have thought to pick up plant droppings at Walmart. Well, at least Walmart is good for something!
