Workers with Disabilities get Jobs when You Reserve Plants

Workers with Disabilities get Jobs when You Reserve Plants. Thank You!

Every year millions of healthy high-quality plants go unsold and are
destroyed.

They go to the dump,

They get plowed under,

They get burned or buried.

It's a huge waste.

They come from the very same growers that supply many of the most

famous garden catalogs. I know because I'm an avid gardener and
horticultural

photographer. I've taken a lot of the photos you see in many of those
same catalogs.

I also strongly support the sheltered workshop movement.
Hundreds-of-thousands

of workers with disabilities find meaningful jobs in workshops all across
the country.

The ongoing problem is to find work to be done.

We started this web site to help solve both problems. We find unsold

nursery stock and have it packaged by sheltered workshops.

We give away the plants to anyone who will send shipping and processing.

Free Trees and Plants.com is not a nonprofit charity. We do not ask for,

or accept, contributions or offer paid memberships. Except for shipping
and processing,

Free Trees and Plants .com is a self-supporting project.

Distribution of the free plants is on a first reserved, first served
basis.

When you make your reservation, you will get a confirmation. It will show
your

reservation number and what free plants you reserved.

All plants are shipped dormant and bare-root, just like most catalog
stock.

We will send your free plants by standard mail.

Shipping and processing covers the cost of:

digging

washing

inspection

transportation

size sorting

unit grouping

hydro dipping

packaging labor

packaging materials

labeling

addressing

postal sorting

and postage to your door.

Every step is done manually.

Shipping and processing is only $7.95 per unit. Some catalogs appear to
charge

less for shipping and handling. They include part of the cost in the price

of the plants, we can't.

Your plants are FREE. Every plant is as good as, or better than, those

you see in expensive catalogs at high prices. The only difference is

that, unless you want these plants, they may go to waste.

You get free plants. You help stop a huge waste. Workers with disabilities

get meaningful work and a paycheck. Everyone wins.

Happy planting,

P.S. If you aren't satisfied with your free plants we will replace them
without further

cost or send you a refund.
