Another place to drop off plastic pots

Got this email from Pat Hollingsworth at The Natural Garden in St. Charles:

Thanks for the great article on recycling. Last spring at The Natural Garden we begin our own “ Recycling Center.” It is located across from the Herb House. . . It’s pretty impressive as it explains exactly what we can recycle here and where to deposit each type of container. We constructed it from old pallets and wooden shipping crates. For every 10 pots our customers brought in we gave them a free native plant. Customers were less interested in the freebee, but were mostly grateful they had a place to drop the pots off.

I've added The Natural Garden to the list of places to recycle plastic pots in this post.

I've been told that Blogger is making it difficult to comment on this blog. I'm sorry. I'll debug the situation as soon as I have the time, but in the meantime anybody wanting to communicate with me can send an email to bethbotts1@gmail.com.

Getting ready to leave for the radio studio--WCPT, 820-AM, noon to 2 p.m. today, Mike Nowak gardening-and-greening show. Paddlers talk about Chicago River pollution, we talk about plastic pots, Greg Meuller talks about backyard mushrooms.

Got a garden question? I recommend you call or e-mail the Plant Clinic of The Morton Arboretum in Lisle, the Master Gardeners of the University of Illinois Extension or the Plant Information Service of the Chicago Botanic Garden in Glencoe.
