free hyacinths and celery

It's that time of the year (finally) when summer in Chicago has heated up
enough that I'm about to compost some of the water hyacinths. I'm also
slowly removing as much water celery as I can, as it has been far too
invasive, on land as well as in pond. Anybody in this area like any free
plants? I'd also happily toss in a few 3rd generation baby gold fish. They
start out black then turn orange or mottled in their 2nd full year. Free
snails too while you're at it! Hey, free string algae as well if you want!

Anyway, let me know.
