Cotoneaster shrub (Stratford E15 4)
Gifted
I have two so don't need this. It's been in a pot but could do with some tlc. Ideally it needs planting out in the garden or a larger pot with some fresh compost.. It's fine with some shade. Popular with birds and bees as it has white flowers in May/June followed by red berries in autumn. It can grow quite tall but is easy enough to trim to shape

Compost Bin (Stratford E15 4)
Gifted
Black plastic compost bin with lid and base. There is a sliding hatch at the bottom. Well used but I have two and no longer need this one. Collection from E15 4JW. Please note it is light enough to carry if you are collecting on foot although a bit awkward due to its size. It is too large to carry on public transport and will not fit in smaller hatchbacks as the base is wide. You would probably need a van or large car to collect. Might be useful for a gardening or allotment group.

Pennisetum grass roots (Stratford E15 4)
Expired
I'm dividing and moving a clump of Pennisetum grass before it comes into growth. When it grows it has grass like leaves and develops creamy white plumes in the summer. They do tend to flop over so I use plant supports.It spreads to form a clump and will develop more plumes as it gets older. Dies down in winter and starts growing again around April time. I have roots to give away. No photos as they are just roots but you can google what it looks like. Pick up today or Sunday.

Plant seedlings/rooted cuttings (Stratford E15 4)
Gifted
A few plant cuttings which have been overwintered. White Valerian. Good for shade. Warning - it does self seed everywhere so pull out unwanted seedlings Euphorbia - two types, one low growing the other forms a tall clump -yellow bracts in spring. Spreads but fairly slowly. Suitable for shade. Verbena bonariensis. Tall with purple flowers in summer. Self seeds. Prefers sun A couple of yucca roots. They will grow slowly in a pot until they're big enough for you to plant out. Warning - when large these are very spiky and need space but do get creamy white flowers in autumn/winter. Cardoon seedheads from last autumn. If you scatter or even plant the seed head new seedlings will grow. When mature a large grey leaved plant which needs space with purple thistle like flowers. Attractive to pollinators.
