I stumbled on to a community garden that offers plants that are common to this area.
Although they look dormant at this time I will make a point to walk through the garden once a week.
Great find! You might bring plants home from them this spring, and be offering plants back to them in a few years.
If you're especially interested in native plants, a seed swap is going to start soon that features native plants and hibiscus. But if you haven't decided yet what plants you want to focus on, or whether you wnat to start form seeds, it might be a little early to start collecting seeds.
