Plant Giveaway
Shrubs, trees, bedding, seedlings
Outside many houses.
​If anyone would like to put some spare plants outside their gate that weekend, let Dave Headey know and your location will be advertised on a map of the "trail" nearer the time.
You can contact Dave on faringdonplants@btinternet.com.
Anyone can walk round and take anything they'd like. There's no cash involved, no charity being collected for (though of course feel free to make a donation to a charity of your choice if you find something you consider a "bargain"); it's just a way of making Faringdon a little bit greener.
Everything is free
