Starting Over-Needing Water Garden Plants

5 years ago

My ducks got in my garden pond and ate all of my plants. They also ate all of the goldfish and the babies. We installed a fence around it to keep them out now. I don't have any plants to trade but I'm willing to pay postage. I'm looking for Frogbit, Anacharis, Water Celery,Water Lilies, Parrot's Feather, Hornwart, Lizard's Tail, Chameleon Plant, Arrowhead, Pickerel Rush, and anything that is hardy in Zone-7b. Thanks so much.

Hello All! Before we retired to Colorado, I kept over 200 species or varieties of roses, and several hundred other plants in my gardens that had become dear to me. Well, I've done the crying part as the move was rather sudden and in the worst winter weather. Now, I need to start over. I have several hundred types of rose seeds, some open-pollinated, some hand pollinated, and most from the rarer roses of the world. I have these to trade. I am also a custom jeweler and have all that that subject entails to trade. I would love small rooted plants, of course, but cuttings and seeds are great too. I love all sedums, cacti/succulents, ROSES, daylilies (left some very rare ones behind and have none now), willows, bulbs, etc! Have a look at my tradelists and also at a web gallery of my recently sold jewelry work. I cut my own stones and do all of the metal work, as well. I also do repairs, so there's a thought for trade. here's the URL for a short photo gallery of my jewelery designs/creations: http://www.keepandshare.com/photo/365668/jewelry-design-portfolio I will be adding photos of my beloved lost plants and garden designs. Just before deciding to retire, I spent some years as a freelance Landscape Designer (I'd be willing to do a design as a trade, as well, since I no longer do this professionally.) BTW, all gardening we do is entirely organic. I am a Master Herbalist so I grow (or grew) all of the herbs needed for my family, friends, landscape jobs, etc. I simply cannot allow harmful substances near any area where plants - herbs, fruit/veg, etc.- are being harvested. The herbs are grown for aesthetics, medicinal, culinary, craft (dyes, soaps, etc., and even for contact pesticides. Thank you all so much for your help in advance and for sharing your love of our plant friends with the world! Best Wishes, Erylyn

My pond is running over with plants. Where do you live in South Carolina? I live near Charleston. If you are close enough to drop by I will give you plenty of plants for your water garden. Just let me know. Joyce
