RE: leaving your garden behind

Smart, Pat.  I would do the exact same thing in my contract -- except I'd try never to drive by later!

I left my gardens behind over 4 years ago when I moved.  I had it 
written into the seller's contract that I was allowed to take any 
plant that I chose, but if it left a hole, I would fill it with 
another plant. I had won a Mayor's Beautification award for that 
yard/garden and I was quite proud of it.

I took a little of most everything, and everything survived and 
eventually thrived, here at my new house.

I went by the old house less than a year later and EVERYTHING 
(INCLUDING SOME MATURE TREES) was plowed under and planted with grass. 
  It was heartbreaking, but . . . . all those plants are here at my 
new house for me to enjoy - plus 4 years worth of new ones!
