Free Flowers for your Garden This Summer

If you want new flowers for your garden, chances are you simply head out to the nursery and buy what you need. While that is a quick and easy fix, I'm thinking that there has to be a better AND cheaper way. It's called trading and it's pretty easy. You take some of the plants that you are dividing and you trade them with a neighbor for some plants that she is dividing. You both win.

Or you go to your Mom's house and gush over the gorgeous lilies that she has growing in hopes that she will go and tell you to dig up a couple and take them home. Been there and done that!
