Many gardeners find themselves in a quandary when moving to a new home.
Although some gardeners might enjoy the challenge of starting over, most just hate the thought of leaving all of their beautiful flowers and shrubs behind. If you're going to try and take some of the plants with you, you need to prepare ahead. First, make sure that if you are selling a home, that you are clear with your home's buyer about what plants stay with the house and which ones are moving. The hot, generally dry weather of summer is about the worst time of year to move any plant. Ideally, you should move plants at the end of the dormant season in late winter or early spring.
