What happens here
Carefully place your selected green plants into their designated spots in the prepared garden beds. Dig a hole for each plant that is approximately twice as wide as the root ball and just as deep. Gently remove the plant from its container, inspect the roots, and loosen any that are circling or matted. Position the plant in the hole so that the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil surface. Backfill the hole with amended soil, gently firming it around the plant's base to remove air pockets. Water each plant thoroughly immediately after planting to help settle the soil. The video shows various types of green plants already established in beds, such as compact shrubs and grasses.
Goal: Populate garden beds with vibrant green plants.
