How to get plants free?
Ask friends, neighbours, family or work colleagues (particularly those who are keen gardeners) for any plant cuttings, extra plants they don’t need or seeds. This is one of the easiest ways to grow your garden for free. Someone else’s green ‘waste’ is a treasure trove of goodies for gardeners on a budget. Bag free seeds by swapping with friends and neighbours if you buy a pack of seeds, you’ll often find you have more than you need. So ask neighbours or explore online to see if anyone in your area wants to swap seeds and seedlings (or any other plants).
Where can I find free seeds?
A seed library is a place where community members can get seeds for free or for a nominal fee and is run for the public benefit. Many seed libraries are open in public libraries and community centers. For some communities, getting folks to garden and grow some of their own food is the focus. Growing plants from seed can be a very rewarding process. Many types of seeds can be started on windowsills, in a greenhouse, or under grow lights at home. Seeds of perennials, annuals, and vegetables can be propagated by seed in the winter and then planted into the garden in the spring.
Is there a plant without seeds?
Seedless nonvascular plants are small. The dominant stage of the life cycle is the gametophyte. Without a vascular system and roots, they absorb water and nutrients through all of their exposed surfaces. There are three main groups: the liverworts, the hornworts, and the mosses. There are three main types of plants without seeds: algae, mosses/liverworts/hornworts, and ferns. Algae were the earliest plants and come in green, red, and brown varieties depending on their pigments. They live in water and were the first to use photosynthesis.Modern-day seedless vascular plants include club mosses, horsetails, ferns, and whisk ferns.
