[Green] Plant acquisition for fall planting of Fort Street site

[Dawn Hewitt]

I am out of town for a week, leaving early Sunday, returning Saturday. (I’m sorry I’ll miss a LIVE service, and flower communion to boot!) I am also in the process of cleaning out my basement and potting area of my old house. I have what seems right now like a large number of pots and a flat in which I intended to plant catnip for sale. Not going to happen. I have pots ranging in size from tiny to enormous, and a ballpark of the number of pots I have is 50. Some are pretty dirty, but I’ve already thrown away the broken, overused ones. I would be thrilled to donate nearly all of them (including the flat of, probably 16 or 20 3x3x3-inch pots) to the cause. 

I also have about 10 or so pots of native plants salvaged from the riverbank last fall. I would love to deliver them to someone else on Saturday because temps are forecast for the 90s early next week, and no one will be there to watch out for them. 

When I return from my work trip, and when I am out of a spotlessly clean 622 N. 7th St., I will return to assistance with Green projects. But from now through the following Saturday, I’m sorry I can’t help.

Does anyone wish to take delivery of my pot collection? Or the plants we salvaged?  I can deliver Saturday.

My understanding is that each flat is a single species, so we would need to have a bit less species diversity than we might otherwise, though on such a large space, 32 or 50 milkweeds, sunflowers, or whatever should fit with no problem. Still, 50 plants for $80 (and those are the expensive ones) is a deal.

Unfortunately, wholesale requires a $500 minimum order, which is too much for that small site. Would we be interested in sharing an order for flats of landscape plugs? One problem, though, is that if we do so, we will need volunteers to transfer the plugs into larger pots and babysit them for the summer. Another issue is that we would be getting either 50 or 32 of a single species, depending on plug size (except for those plant flats we split with the other site).
