Nothing in this life is free. When it comes to gardeners, well almost all gardeners, we like to share, so plants can be free.
A friend stopped by and left me hellebores, hardy Geranium and some succulents.There were way more than I needed, so I in turn, shared them with another friend. There is nothing quite like the feeling of sharing the wealth of our gardens, whether it be flowers or vegetables, with friends and neighbors.

What nice friend! None of my friends garden so I'm the one doing the sharing but that is OK it's one of the joys of gardening. -Jackie
Hi Jennifer~~ What a blessing. Perennials: the plants that keep on giving. I think part of it is that most of gardeners think alike. We know what a joy it is to get a freebie from a friend. In fact the plant is that much better because of where [who] it came from. Non-gardeners probably wouldn't understand. Cheers.
The way of the gardener -- share and share alike! In my case, I will definitely share my extra bounty from the veg garden!
Such a nice friend... I guess gardening really bring home the meaning of sharing.......

Lucky you! That's fantastic.
Lucky you! Alot of my plants come from swaps and I think we enjoy them a little more as they remind us of those wonderful friends :)

How lovely!
I have many plants which friends have given me over the years, which in turn I have divided and shared. When I look at the garden I'm reminded of the friends who gave the plants, so it is double the pleasure.
Finally I have been in a position to give some plants away. I've had a few takers and so far the best I got was a small dogwood tree! I needed one.
