The time

Time is the most important factor. You will need some time to plan everything, get some tips from professionals, and find movers that are specialized in this kind of relocation. This will not be easy but it will be worth it since you will have all (or most of them) of your old plants in your new garden which is amazing and surely you will be very happy about it.

If something goes wrong

You need to be prepared for this. This is a real possibility. Your relocation can be too much stress for some plants and they can get hurt. Maybe this won’t happen and all your plants will be moved safely and everything will go smoothly but don’t be too disappointed if one or two plants don’t make it.
