Best place to sell plants?

I've inherited a garden with a lot of 'Box' plants - something which I have no interest in! We've dug them out & potted them up. Some are quite large & smaller ones are priced at £40 in B&Q... we must have 15-20!

Where could I sell these at a reasonable price? People selling box on Ebay don't seem to be getting any bids.

I would love to sell even for £5-£10 each, something towards my veg growing garden!

    you could try putting an ad in the adtrader in your local area

    gumtree i think you can advertise for free

    carboot sale

    in all honesty i personally dont think you will get that type of money as box plants came right down in price, and has seen their day, as in everyone wanted them for the garden

    might also be worth going to a local independant nursery/flower shop and see if they would buy them off you 'job lot' and see what they offer



    edit.... depending on how they are looking, just a thought but you could try and take them back to b & q and say you bought too many and cant find your receipt,, you might not get the cash, but you might get a credit or something,.....but i am not saying you should do this ( before anyone jumps on me,) but they did come from b & q, you never know

    What matters most is how well you walk through the fire
