when I move into a condo. Are there places (people) who I can give my beloved plants to that will love and take care of them? One of them was my grandmother's and it's over 30 years old.

I've had to do this with 2 different moves.
I suggest going to http://www.freecycle.org/ and offering your plants. I had posted things like books, furniture, clothes and gotten so-so responses. When I posted plants, the floodgates opened.
What's nice about the site is you can choose who would be a good match, and they will come pick up your plants. (And they'll thank you a lot).

Look for places in your area like, Botanical Gardens, Arboretums, Plant Reserves. You can even call the local collage. Places Like this would be happy to have your donation,and even pick it up for you. I had a Pacapodium Cactus ,that was 20 years old, 20 ft. high, about 200 lbs. It was so big, it out grew our little yard. I had heard of a public garden/park reserve and gave them a call. They were happy to take my plant, and was even going to send a flatbed truck out to get it. Unfortunately, the night before pick-up, There was a bad wind storm,and it fell into the pool and broke into a million pieces. Oh Well. But look for those places, they will continue to care and love the plants. Byee

I would look for a local garden society or gardening club and ask if they are interested. Otherwise maybe a nursing home or hospital, although they might not get the best care .
Could you take cuttings from the plants and at least take part of them with you ?

Do you have a retirement home nearby? or an office block that might have room? maybe aschool, nursery or similar establishment - reckon any of these would be glad to have your plants and all would take care of them I'm sure.

Offer them to a church and or assisted living center..... They will really appreciate you for thinking of them. I'd take them if I live near you.
