===>If you cannot move the garden before you show the house to prospective
buyers, then you'd better make sure that removing plants is in your sale
contract; otherwise, I do believe that the plants/landscape are sold with the houe
and you do not have the right to take the plants.
When we sold our house in '89, we wrote into the contract that the hosta,
daylily, daffodil, and wildflower collections were not included.
I don't think you'd have a problem if you're taking cuttings or divisions,
but your transplanted garden isn't going to make you as happy if you are sued
over it.
