Lawn And Garden Plants Transplanting: A Personal Adventure In Plant Relocation

People often need to transplant when they start seedlings inside, or when they purchase plants from a store or greenhouse. Sometimes they take plants from outside of their yard and move them to the lawn or garden for decorative purposes. This Spring, we came across some wild plants growing in the lawn that looked like they'd be nice as ornamental plants in my mom's flower garden. Before the lawn mower was repaired, my mom moved several Wild violets from the back yard to her garden. First I came across some of plants that I was unfamiliar with and wanted to let grow to see what they were. I ended up transplanting one group from the lawn to the garden. Later, I collected some buttercups and transplanted them to the garden, also.
