Garden shop garbage

These were ALL on their way to the dumpster! Yes I paid no more than 1.50 for each of All Perinials will live to bloom again.

This one was Free! I took a branch that was broken off. The bush now goes around a maple tree and is just loaded with flowers. This is a non grafted native Florida gardenia. The blooms are small but packed with smell..
Orchids were a dollar. Oh ya! check Lowes last chance 50% off tables they are marked way below 50%.




There is nothing I enjoy more than to see the plants wilting at the local Walmart, Lowes or Home Depot garden shops. It means that in a day or so they will fall into the 50% off bin. Often at Walmart they go onto a pallet headed for the dumpster. Walmart is a great place to get roses. When they are looking bad they dispose of them. Just ask the garden shop manager what he plans to do with them. Sometimes they will give them up for a small fee for the whole pallet and sometimes they will say just take them. You will have nothing if you don't ask. Here are some of my free or small $ investments.
