Steve Martinoabsolutely, i have always thought you could design an entire garden with plants people throw out in the alley for the trash men to take away. i have salvaged numerous plants for my garden by just finding them. when i trim my succulents and cactus from my garden i hate to throw them out. i put them in salvaged nursery cans from my projects, after they are rooted i give them away to clients and friends. the agaves on the opening page of my blog are all salvaged ‘pups’ from another one of my projects. palm fronds have been used for shade structures forever.
