[Libs-Or] Fw: library plants

[dan cawley]

 hi corrine:
seaside plant-guy here.

through the years, people have donated a variety of plants and we also give away occasional cuttings.
we have a little-shop-of-horrors spider plant whose pups are all over the building and all over town.
we also have a donated ficus that is well over 25 years old.

our awesome friends group buys us fresh dirt and fancy containers.

a word of caution...one donation was infested with fungal gnats which, in turn, infested every plant in the building.  

fixable but not fun...
patrons also tend to use the pots as garbage cans for their gum wrappers, cigarette butts, etc. which is sad but not surprising.

good luck with your project--plants make everything better!

  You may want to ask in the community you serve for rooted cuttings of houseplants on a donation basis; it's part of how my public library has many of our houseplants. Also, check with your local master gardeners, as you may find someone who has some houseplants to donate. If you specifically want to go the grant route, the Hardy Plant Society grants might also work with your needs.

Can anyone direct me to a grant for potted plants in the library? I think it would make a big difference in our space but am having trouble finding one.
Thank you,
