Somthing I did once, before we listed a house, was to remove plants, bulbs, etc from the yard. I potted them (quite poorly) and even put some just in plastic bags (bulbs from my husband's grandmother's garden). Something for to consider. House sounds wonderful - even with the work.

If you have photos of the garden in bloom from last summer, make sure the agent includes them in your brochure or prepare a detailed notebook with garden plan to leave on the kitchen table for prospective buyers. Also, if you close on the new house before signing a contract on the old one, you may be able to transplant many of the perennials to the new garden.
