We have just had our village church fete so I donated a lot of my spare plants to the plant section to be sold, the proceeds going back to the church. Makes you feel good, helps the church and people like to buy new stock, win win all round.
I too am running out of room in my garden for new or seed raised plants, and all the extra plants l have from divided perennials. I have lots of borage, foxgloves, hemerocallus 'Pink Damask', six 2L pots of hardy geranium 'Mavis Simpson', all from one clump earlier in spring, cosmos 'Purity', hardy geranium 'Biocovo'?, astrantias and a couple of white agapanthus . There is a large annual plant sale next Saturday near (ish) to me in aid of Hospicare Southwest so I'm going to donate all my spares to them. I know I'll probably buy something unusual or much desired myself, I just can't resist. I just enjoy growing stuff , I find it so relaxing being outside getting mucky . I know so few keen gardeners, who garden like I do . Most work colleagues only have a lawn they hate mowing and a pot or two with a mini conifer in it and find gardening to much effort. So it's great to come on this forum and read /see all of your achievements.
I'm still getting germinations from the over winter seeds. A couple of daphnes, tangutica and acutiloba, another paeony, no idea what, and arisaemas, not much there yet and they're usually good germinaters
oh I am so pleased it's not just me! patio crammed with things to plant in the garden but still can't resist buying more! even persuaded dh to dig larger borders but still have way too many plants. I have a problem.

I think I pricked out a tray of willowherb. No idea what happened to the limonium I sowed...
Why does seed compost come complete with weeds? I can find enough of my own.
I had massed thornapple one year, must have come from the compost, it wasn't here before that.

It would be far worse not to have enough plants pickle
