How Do You Move a Garden?

If you are a natural green thumb with a flourishing garden and you are facing an upcoming move, you might be wondering just how you can transport your precious plants to your new location. There are a few steps you need to follow in order to ensure that the process goes smoothly.

First, you need to look into the local regulations at your destination location. Although it is rare, there are certain plants that cannot be introduced into other ecosystems, as they may disrupt the delicate balance that exists there.

Once you determine that you can, in fact, bring your plants to your destination, you must then prepare them for the move. This involves transferring your plants into pots several weeks before the move, as well as trimming excess stems and branches so they will take up as little space as possible. Finally, just before the move, double check your plants for insect infestation and mold growth and address any problems you find. Then place the plants in large, corrugated cardboard boxes and poke holes in them so your plants can breathe. Also, be sure not to overwater them, as this can lead to mold growth or freezing if you are traveling to a cold location.
