Canada’s Ultimate Plant Mom Will Take Your Unwanted Shrubs — by Cara Giaimo

I just loved this story...
"Sarah Adams runs a cut flower farm called Alberta Girl Acres. She sells bouquets at local farmer’s markets and through a CSA program. But this past summer, the farm expanded its purview: They now do plant rescue, too. “Rehome your pretties,” advises a dedicated section on the farm’s website. “No plant left behind.”
Adams’s tender heart is connected to her own green thumb. Before she bought her farm last summer, she was a renter in the city, and moved around a lot. “I would do a lot of gardening in those rental yards,” she says. “I’d plant raspberries, or a pine, or peonies, or ferns, or whatever, just because I loved the idea of creating these spaces.” Then the landlord would sell the property, and Adams would move on. “I thought, ‘Wouldn’t it be great if there was someone I could call—somewhere for these plants to go?’”
