We are planning a potting morning this weekend where members of our street gardening group and neighbours can come and pot up some cuttings. The idea is that we give the potted cuttings to people to babysit over summer so they are ready to plant out after the equinox in March.

Does anyone in inner eastern know where I can get free, fairly small plastic pots for the cuttings? I was thinking of going to Bunnings in Box Hill and see if they would give me some pots people have brought in to recycle.

This afternoon we went to Bunnings in Box Hill. They have a crate outside where people return their used pots. We were able to take a nice amount of free pots for our potting morning tomorrow.

We went to my elderly mother's place and worked hard pruning lots of plants. We filled garbage bags full of pelargonium cuttings, abutilon cuttings, divided clivia etc.

@perkinsy Is there a local zoo. Their gardens dept. will probably throw hundreds of these away every year. Could be worth investigating.

@Penguinflight What an interesting idea - thank you! There is a zoo not too far away. I might give them a ring.
