My Plant Exchange is an on-line resource for gardeners to exchange their precious plants with fellow gardeners across the U.S. This can be a beneficial opportunity for gardeners to exchange their excess plants to other gardeners who desire these plants and have other kinds of plants for exchange. This can also be an opportunity for gardeners to sell their excess plants to others who can purchase desired plants at a discount or non-retail basis. Healthy, quality plants can be costly at garden centers and nurseries and this prohibit an individual in purchasing the plants. This will provide our plants and flowers a new opportunity to reward other gardeners rather than being destroyed; and it expands our collective opportunity for our environment by going “green”.

Gardening can be a rewarding and satisfying activity for the young, old, novice and experienced gardener. As gardeners, we take great pride and satisfaction in planting and this can be rewarding to the gardener in many ways. The benefits we receive for our time and resources can be measured year round through the beauty of flowers, seasonal foliage and plant growth. It can also be an expensive activity as we cherish and nurture our plants with quality soil, fertilizer, insecticide, and compost with the hope of receiving benefits from the health and growth of our plants and we want to maximize the potential of our plants.

As gardeners we take great pride in nurturing our plants and flowers and are delighted when we have success with flowers and the multiplication of our plants. It can also be challenging to manage the success of our plants and flowers as they expand and produce more plants. Often these new plants end up being destroyed or end up in our compost because of limited space or the desire to maintain the size. It is disheartening to destroy quality plants that could be shared and provide a benefit to fellow gardeners.
