Dont forget when you cut and discard plants from your garden, they are very welcome on Freecycle. i have rehomed dozens this way. We make a lot of use of Freecycle to get rid of stuff which is too good for the bin.

How do you get them to the peeps or do they collect them.?

Us and our neighbours usually exchange plants and cuttings we fancy , gardeners are always willing to share..::)

The people who want them collect by prior arrangement. You pick out an e-mail from those replies that you get, and contact the sender, then make your arrangements by e-mail or phone. I always get more replies than i need, so divide if I can.

I love freecycle.

As well as plants, I save glass jars all year because there are always requests for them from people to make jams etc. at this time of year. I've always got loads more than I can use.
