Host a Plant Dig Day Before a Teardown

If you have the right to salvage plants before a property is demolished, organize a "first come, first served" dig day. Start by making a detailed inventory: quantities, sizes, and variety names (e.g., "15 clumps of daffodils, 2 'August Beauty' gardenias, 4 ft tall").

Post the list on Freecycle.org or local gardening groups with the date, time, and rules (bring your own tools, fill holes). This clears the site efficiently and gives plants new homes.
