I would move any plant that is special to you. Now that would be a lot
for me but maybe not for you. If it can be replaced and a lot of plants
can't be, then leave it or a part. I would suggest planting multiple
plants in containers instead of individual pots since you could keep
them watered better. You could also start cuttings now of all the
deciduous plants you want and the cuttings will not take up as much room
as the whole plant. The evergreen plants could be rooted in Dec, Jan,
Feb. A whole garden could be moved in a small car or truck. Not easy
but then it could be done. Seeds are also a good way to move plants.
Once I dug up all the bulbs to move to another state and the movers left
the garbage containers with the bulbs to freeze and brought the
garbage. They were not the swiftest of movers of other household items
either.
Start by thinking what you really can't stand losing. Memories are in
most of our plants rather than the plant itself.
