“Where can I get free plants?”
“How do I share plants?”
“Do I have to give away my plants to share with others?”
The answer is simple - Garden the PlantShare Way.
Join Dina Russell, founder of PlantShare LLC, plant biologist, and seasoned gardener, for a hands-on service that turns everyday spaces into thriving gardens through smart plant hunting and ethical plant collecting.
What Is Plant Hunting with PlantShare?
Plant hunting is the activity of searching for plants in their natural environment. People do it to find rare or new plant species and to learn how they grow in the wild. It is an eco-friendly way to get more plants when done responsibly, without harming nature.
Recently, Dina Russell halved the work and doubled the fun by weeding a lawn and turning those so-called weeds into a brand-new garden bed in rural Maine. The result was a resilient, local, low-effort garden built from plants already adapted to the environment.
This service shows you how to do the same.
How It Works
During your live one-on-one session, you and Dina Russell will walk through a simple, effective process:
- Prepare the garden bed
- Go plant hunting for local ecotypes
- Water at each step
- Place plants where they will thrive
- Water them in and let nature do the rest
This approach supports sustainable plant collecting and helps you build gardens that last.
What You Will Learn
- How to find plants already growing in your area
- How to share plants without losing what you love
- How to identify plants worth collecting and replanting
- How to garden sustainably and locally
- How to reduce cost while increasing diversity
All plant discoveries and care instructions can be saved to your PlantShare collection so you have everything ready for next steps.
