Gardening is good for your yard and your soul but it can be tough on your budget. What if we told you there's a place where plants are free?
With spring in full swing, many gardeners are tending to plants. The hobby is good for the yard and the soul but can be tough on a budget. That's one of the reasons why 'Take a Plant, Leave a Plant' started in one Denton front yard.
"Everyone deserves a chance to enjoy plants and be in that hobby, regardless of your income," Take a Plant, Leave a Plant Denton founder Helen Sanderson said."There is just something so magical about growing something.""I think that they are partly what got me through that period of isolation," Sanderson said."I think that there is something intimate about it being in a neighborhood and in a community that adds to the special aspect of it.
Like a neighborhood sidewalk library, but for plants, visitors can donate what they don't want and take what they do. Since the Take a Plant, Leave a Plant Denton started, about a dozen others have sprouted up across DFW. "Why not share with people who have the same interest instead of just throwing them away," Take a Plant, Leave a Plant Lewisville host Merida Cervantes said.
Cervantes' added a sidewalk library with books about gardening and a community garden to her Take a Plant, Leave a Plant Lewisville. She says the community is growing something more lasting than plants."A lot of people who are obsessed with plants just cling to each other," Cervantes said."I've watched the friendships grow in this group.
