Did you know that millions of healthy trees and plants are wasted each year? These are the plants that remain unsold at nurseries. It is an incredible waste.
Cheryl Richter came up with a solution and founded freetreesandplants.com. Her idea: give the unused plants and trees to people that want them! Not only does her web-based company offer a valuable solution for those wishing to landscape their homes on a budget, she seeks to offer a productive work environment for persons living with disabilities. The result is a win-win-win: less wasted plants, jobs for persons with disabilities, and free plants and trees for you!
So how does this work? First, go to the freetreesandplants.com website. Browse the many selections to see what's available. You'll also notice a handy zone chart to help you determine which plants would grow best in your climate.
Then, just pay shipping and processing costs. I was delighted to see that these are minimal considering the labor involved in packaing the plants. A tree ships for just $7.95. Still feeling skeptical? Cheryl writes, "if you aren't satisfied with your free plants, we will replace them without further cost or send you a refund." WOW!
Thanks to Mom for sharing this interesting freebie with me!
