I am looking for CCGA gardeners who are interested in dogwood shrubs (a handful), liriope (bucket loads full), rose of Sharon (numerous small trees) , 2 forsythia bushes (about 4-5 feet tall), hosta (many----some green and white and some plain green). I also have day lillies located in our north west garden that are available (some in two colors I believe). There are quite a few and more in our southeast garden though I am still moving some of those to a back garden.
I am waiting to hear if the person requesting 2-3 burning bushes is going to do a pick up soon. They may or may not be available.
Items need to be removed due to upcoming construction on our school campus. Some items are being moved into a garden on the other side of our school building so I may have more to offer once I finish that task of moving as much as I can fit into that other space.
No one is giving the date construction will start in the north garden so that is my main focus right now. I feel the plants definitely deserve a new home. They have given us such a lovely environment and I am limited in terms of how much transplanting I can do and how much limited area there is to reasonably transplant.
You would need to dig out which ever approved plants we have agreed upon. As long as weather is decent I can meet you at our school in Albany Park on this Saturday (preferably by 8 or 9 a.m.or after 12) or a weekday after 3:15. The sooner you get your plants the better as I cannot promise that they will be around if you wait too long. I would hate for them to be destroyed when I know folks could use them and benefit from having them. I need to hear responses asap before I go looking elsewhere for any takers. Anyone working on digging needs to wear a mask unless you are the only one digging in a large area. Please wear your mask when interacting with any volunteers.
Thanks,
Marcy Kollath (lead garden volunteer/organizer)
