Reading Maa's Mom  entry tonight reminded me of a site that I had heard of quite a while back.  I always thought we would have moved by now so I never followed through with it, but it sounds like a great deal.  Here is the blurb from the main page:

 WELCOME

        Every year millions of unsold, high-quality, nursery

       plants are destroyed.

        Sheltered workshops all over the Nation can provide

       jobs.  The problem is to find enough work to keep

       the doors open.

       We find unsold plants, have those workshops

       package them and...

 The Plants are YOURS FREE!

          You pay only processing and shipping

Reserve your FREE Plants Now!

So apparently all you have to do is pay for shipping and processing, which I believe is a very modest fee of $7.95.  Like I said, I have never done this, so I cannot guarantee how healthy the plants and trees are, but $7.95 is not a big risk!  Here's the link:

Also, I just found out that if you join the Arbor Day Foundation for just $10, they will send you your choice of 10 free trees that are right for your zone.  Not a bad deal at all!  Here's that link:

Hope this helps someone.  Thanks for stopping by!

Blessings,

Carol
