My neighbors are having a bulb swap! Many of them have beautiful gardens, but some of their plants are getting a bit out of control. Every couple of years they all get together to have a bulb swap. They did up the plants they don’t want and trade them for some of the neighbors cast offs.I got some plants this way last year. My sister in law gave me some Irises and a ground covering plant she no longer wants, all are doing well. I know of another person who dug up all her out of control plants and sold them as part of her garage sale, four bulbs for a dollar!
There are plenty of ways to aquire beautiful plants without spending a fortune. Get together with the neighbors for a plant swap. What a great way to add new color to your garden.

Great idea! My husband dug up about a hundred or so daffodil bulbs, but hasn’t found anything to do with them. My neighbor has some out of control lilies. She said I could come over and dig them up. We also dug up some of our hostas and moved them to the other side of the yard. Yard work is very time consuming, but the rewards are nice.
