Free: perennials from our front garden. Feel free to bring us some juice or dark chocolate, or a bag of mulch, but only if you feel like it ☺️
Not necessary.

Chocolate lake area in Halifax. Google my business name and you will see the location.

I am dividing some plants. The leftovers are free. Water well, mulch with a 4” layer, and most of them should survive, even though it’s getting late to transplant things.
