Hey All!

Unfortunately the plant stand will not run this year. We have to much going on and it takes a lot of time to keep up with it that I just don’t have.

Will possibly be back next year. Time will tell. I will keep the group open so that you guys can post anything up for grabs.

No potted plants or seedlings available yet, but I did put out some cuttings. As per the rules, please do not take my va...

No potted plants or seedlings available yet, but I did put out some cuttings.
As per the rules, please do not take my vases. They were kindly donated to keep cuttings in. Thank you ☺️

The plant stand is out! I’ve got some pots on it (no plants yet) but feel free to stop by with anything. Houseplant cuttings (I’ll add the vases out for those) garden extras, extra seedlings!
This is the second year in a row I haven’t been able to grow seedlings due to a very hectic bowling schedule for hubby and the kids, or I would have my extras out there.

Wow I’m behind! I was hoping to set up Tuesday. But the jet lag caught up with me.
I plan on dragging out at least one part of the stand tonight after work.

I just want to say thank you to whomever dropped off the bag of vases. The big one is absolutely perfect for propping my big Monstera so I’ll be 100% chopping her in the next few days.
And the smaller ones are perfect for all the other props.
It is very very appreciated!
If you would like your re-usable bag back please reach out!

Wow! I’m truly touched the the outpouring of support.
I did not think this meant as much as it did. And the amount of people who have reached out to either offer vases and or support.
I did want to say thank you for returning the vase in question. It’s much appreciated.
I will definitely think on it, but with how much it does mean to everyone else, I don’t think I’ll close it this Friday. We will see how the rest of the season goes.
I truly truly appreciate all those who have reached out.

Ok, come on guys, if you literally took the whole vase with all the philodendron cuttings. I mean, come on, why would you take my damn vase.
I’m at the point where I’m going to close it down permanently. I put time money and effort into this.
My camera obviously needs to be adjusted.
But this will be the end. Whatever is there can go, but I’ll pull all my stuff from it now. The rest of the plants I have out there that are mine that o contributed I’ll bring inside.

In the propagation works are some plants I’ve decided to chop.
I’ve got philodendrons:
White Wizard
White Princess
3 Pink Princess’s
White knight
2 Silver swords

Also there will some potted plants

Pearls and Jade pothos
Emerald pothos
And a mixed pot of pothos
Philodendron Micans

I also have 2 Monstera Aurea’s a top cutting and a mid cutting and a Monstera Albo top cutting. These will be for sale for when ready. There’s a good amount of roots on the Aurea’s but I want to make sure they’ll transition to soil ok. The Albo I just started so it will be a while.

The props will be out this weekend.

Please please know, if you don’t have a plant to leave, THAT IS OK!

Yes, there is a black donation box, no, I DO NOT expect anyone to leave a donation.
Yes it does cost money to run, but that’s something I took on because I wanted to spread my love of plants. The new stand was something I did because the skid just doesn’t fit everything.

Do not feel that you need it pay for a plant if you can’t leave one.

That is not the point of this stand.

I’m am entirely grateful for everyone who has donated. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. But it’s truly not the point.
I just want to spread plant cheer.
I love plants and gardens, and in these times, not all of us can afford to go get new plants, myself included, the front yard is a disaster that I have a 5 year plant for 😅
It’s for everyone.

So many of you have been so respectful in using the stand. Some have given way to much.

I appreciate each and every one of you who brings plants, takes plants, and enjoys the stand.

All I ask if that no one comes in a takes all of them (has not happened, so no worries) and that you are respectful of my house, which everyone has been fantastic with.

Thank you for all the support 💜

The skid is just a tad small, so I added a plant stand. On the new stand is all the house plants, it gets a bit more shade, and the skid is all the garden plants and veggies.
Still lots of tomato plants, a couple already have tomatoes on them.
Come on buy and have a look at what’s there!
185 Jeffrey Ave, Acton.

I’ve been so busy that I haven’t had a chance to make a video of what’s available.
The aloes got a wee bit sunburnt but their new growth is coming in fantastically.
There’s lots of tomatoes, a belladonna plant, mother of millions, pothos and begonia cuttings.

There’s nursery pots as well, and I’m going through and adding cover pots that I don’t use anymore.

I bought a new stand, it will be up soon. That way hopefully there is more room.

Location:

Acton.

Rules:

You don’t need to leave a plant if you don’t have any.

Don’t come and take everything. This is for everyone.

Any plant on my front porch or gardens is off limits.

There is a donation box, do not feel you have to leave a donation. But some people last year just left money out in the open. This way it’s in a secured box. It does cost money to run and look after all the plants that come through.

There is a camera. As last year people took my propagation vases that were not meant for taking.

I do not have time to save anything for anyone. It’s first come first serve for everything.

Have fun and enjoy!
