Getting plants from friends makes for a low-cost garden makeover
Jennifer Hubbs here . I have only been garden in southwestern Florida for the past two and a one-half years . I come from a category of gardeners , love visit gardens , and could n’t wait to get back into horticulture after a retentive hiatus . I have n’t had the opportunity to garden over the past 15 days due to condominium living .
Our new home was a vacuous slating two and a one-half class ago , which is fun , but it can seem overwhelming . I decided to get as many liberal plant from fellow gardeners as I could to get started .
Enjoy !
The side garden before
A beautiful frangipani ( Plumeria , Zone 10 )
The side garden after . All of these plants were donation from fellow gardeners except the vinca ( Catharanthusroseus , Zones 10–11 or as an annual ) . I love the green and blanched in this garden , specially with the white fencing as a backdrop .
I planted honeyed white potato vine ( Ipomoeabatatas , Zones 10–11 or as an yearly ) to cover my neighbor ’s chain of mountains - link fence . upright decision ever ! It was cheap and offers beautiful color , low maintenance , and concealment .
I know this saint trumpet ( Brugmansia , Zones 8–10 or as an annual)—another cutting from a neighbour .

I have added some grass to supply movement and a soft fluffy idiom to this spiky garden . include here are foxtail fern ( Asparagusdensiflorus , Zones 10–11 or as a houseplant or an annual),Agave , Dracaena , and some other donation . I take whatever anyone give me !
