free trees

intriguing! i was googling around just now see if there are any tree giveaways in the area, and while i didn't find any that apply to me, i did find a website called www.freetreesandplants.com. while i'm an optimist, i'm also a skeptic, and immediately thought it seemed too good to be true - particularly since they use "sheltered workshops" with disabled workers, so in addition to cheap plants you also help workers with disabilities - but i think it actually is true! (i googled the website names and found a few gardening boards that mentioned having success with it.) for an $8 processing/shipping fee (per plant), they'll send you "free" trees, shrubs, perennials, bulbs, whatever. they seem to have a pretty good selection, as long as you're not too terribly picky. i'm guessing the plants are pretty small, but i might be willing to give it a shot!
