Starting Tropical Garden, Could Use Your Help

You can often find plants there from hobbyists for low prices or even free. People with an overabundance of fast growing/spreading plants (bamboo, lillies, palm seedlings) who hate to just kill them will pot them up and give them away. You may even find more mature plants offered if you'll just come and dig them up. Sunset magazine is a great idea source as it focuses on western US gardening and they frequently feature Califusa tropical gardens. The Sunset Western Garden Book is a must for the beginning gardener. PS: A change in your subject line to something more specific such as "Starting Tropical Garden, Could Use Your Help" may get your post more attention. The number of exclamation marks is up to you.
