I get too sad thinking about tossing my trimmings away that I randomly place my rooted cutting at little libraries or outside for any takers.

  1. This is a great idea. I’ve got (almost) too many plants and this would be a good way to offload extra props and green up the neighborhood.

    If I had a yard I’d look into building a plant library of my own.

    If you were near me I’d be running to grab (what I believe to be) that cebu blue in the third pic

    I love this idea!!! We have one of these in my area so I think I’ll leave some cuttings there.

    Every spring I ask for plants in my local buy nothing groups. I’ve gotten like 6 different species of photos for the gas it took to drive around my town

    My local library has a propagation station!

    We have some Little Free Pantries, around. Time to start Little Free Plant Sheds! What a great idea to give away props this way…

    If you live in a big city, many of them have plant swaps that people set up. Failing that, yours is a lovely idea!! 💚💚💚💚

    We have a little plant exchange cart down the street from me that I bring extra pots, supplies, any cuttings and plants I no longer want. It’s a big hit in the neighborhood.

    I was *just* thinking about what to do with my trimmings as well! I’m about to repot a couple of mine and clean them up. This is a wonderful idea! Thanks for sharing!

    I love this idea, but wouldn’t they bake in the summer?

    I love this.

    We have a “Take a plant, leaf a plant” stand in my town! People leave pots, bags of soil, plants, cuttings, etc. It’s super cool.

    I’d grab two or three of any assortment of them. The plant lover in me would want to take them all lol.

  16. Where is that?? I need one of each of those cuttings!

    I want to live in your neighborhood.

  18. I posted my starters for free on our Next Door site. I set the plants by the curb, and they are rarely there more than an hour.
