I have been married for almost 14 years and a mother of 2 kids ( a boy and a girl). I hate to shop, but love to be frugal. In other words, shopping is more fun when I know that I am saving money in the meantime. ;)
Check out the website freecycle.org. I don't know if you are wanting to plant flowers or veggies, but this site is good for flowers. Please know that if you sign up for freecycle.org you will get posts that will let you know everything that is being posted, but everything on this site has to be FREE....so be patient. (you might find other things you are looking for for free ie gardening supplies) Every so often there is a post stating 'free xx flower come get and you can have'. As for veggies....farmer's market. I live in central IL so I thought that the idea of a farmer's market would not be near me. I found out differently. They are great! Enjoy your gardening! ... View related article.
