Charity shops (unlikely), jumble sales (even more unlikely), car boot sales.

Pound shops etc. You sometimes get bits of artificial foliage in home decor depts. We found a sort of "door curtain" type affair with lots of strings of hanging leaves/vines that took to bits easily.

I got a bunch from pound shops but my best source was "The Range" in their aquarium section. Plenty of plants at a reasonable price.
So many projects..... so little time.......

I've got a fair bit of stuff from Battlefield Architect on Ebay. They are in these pics (plus some bits from Grimm too).

I made my own from aquarium plants, I found getting them from America was cheaper than buying from my local Pet City, even with the postage.





full details and where to order the plants from here:

Here's my jungle vegitation made from plastic flower pieces / arrangements. They always seem to be 40% off at the local larger craft stores.



Also Palm Trees from Bake shop supplier



I have articles in my Terrain Making section on how I assembled them.

Overlord made some cool ones with CD bases, wall filler and some plants from Hobbycraft I believe...

Sold a bunch of them at our show some years back.

Poundworld (not Poundland) is selling a range of plastic potted plants at the minute, which are great for jungle scenery. You get a lot of greenery for your Pound, even better value than aquarium plants.

I used flower shop plastic plants, I spent $22aus on them, stuck them onto polystrene bases for a one off game and made them all in one night.
