All these plants are grown from my home and are healthy, in good soil and fed regularly. Any of the plants in the round bowls (2) can be separated for their own planter or area of ground. In these containers they are readily kept in check or allowed to spread - your choice.

To purchase or inquire about any please contact me (Lyn) as follows: I don't get to Neighbourly much so the other options are a better choice.

The plants and other potential gifts will be on my market stall on December 7 from 8.30am to noon at Uniting Church Hall (rear of church) next to Levin Adventure Park.
