Whether you’re moving plants cross country or from the front
to back yard here are 8 tips:
§ Rare plants merit special status. Preserve diversity.
Start fresh.
Purchase common plants at a local garden center when you arrive. Shock
from digging and moving is tough on a plant.
Sentimental plants help anchor a garden. The extra care you spend on them will carry
over to other plants.
Bring your fertilizer. Proven combinations will jump start a new
garden. Plus, they’re resource intensive to manufacture.
Ignore the old design. Decades of unimaginative gardening bores the
wildlife.
Invite friends and new neighbors over for
advice. They’ve been gardening in the
neighborhood longer.
Remember the basics. Plan how to get regular
water to everything.
§ Stay upbeat.
Always plan for the next spring.
