This is a perfect opportunity to divide your overgrown, but healthy, houseplants. Houseplants only, no vegetable plants, outdoor flowers, or other outdoor plants. Also limit the size of pots to less than 8 inches. Participants should only bring pots, small containers, or bags that they are willing to part with.
