Recycling plants?

Recycled gardens is a great place to get inexpensive mature plants and do two good things at once. Firstly, this is like a thrift shop for plants, the are being reused and resold. How cool is that?! And secondly, this volunteer run garden shop is for the benefit of POPPA, pet overpopulation prevention associates. The sale we went to last Saturday was crazy! and we got there a little before 10, when they "opened". Well, there was already like, 50 people or more there. And it was rainy. The sale was a dollar discount off their usual 4$ per gallon price. This is for any gallon size, its just multiplied by 4. 3 gallon pot? 12$. Ya see? I got 10 new plants for 51$. They are all adjusting well to their new location. However the weather has been snarky, and I am going to wait to take pictures. Some of them are still in the process of budding, sprouting, leafing out etc. anyways, so they will be prettier to look at in a month or so. Especially if the seeds I planted for ground cover take off.
It was fun. If you live in Oregon, this place is worth your time.
