Are you ready to beautify your yard? The Plant Exchange gives employees a chance to dig up perennials that may be taking over their flower beds and swap them for other plants.
 

Flower bulbs, houseplants, and veggie and flower seedlings also can be shared. If you do not have plants to share, you can still participate. The exchange is free and there are plenty of plants to go around.
