We dug up all the plants (dogwood, hazel and dog-rose) and have heeled them in to a raised beg. This means the plants have been laid flat and had their roots covered over. When we create a new hedge in the peace garden we will re-plant these plants in it. For now the plants don't mind being moved because they are dormant (asleep for the winter).
