Happily playing in the dirt today at my rented house, making plans to buy plants, when a thought occurred to me - if I buy a plant and plant it in the ground, when I leave, is the plant mine to dig up and take with me if I so choose? I'm thinking of shrubs and perennials here...
Your landlord may have limitations on what you can plant. You should ask first before you spend any of your own money.
One of the reasons they chose me for a tenant is the fact that I'm a gardener, and the place has been neglected. Short of whacking down large trees - which I'm not competent to do, and can't afford to pay anyone to do anyway - I can do pretty much what I want. I love rehabbing yards, and I'd plant things for my own pleasure whether or not I get reimbursed. Just occurred to me to wonder about the legalities.
Ultimately, this place will be sold, but probably not for at least 2 years. So it sounds like if I get a plant that I might want to take with me if/when I go, I should propagate the ones I put in the ground, or grow them in containers.

Oh hell, take the plant/plants with you. Replace them with a different plants if the space looks empty. I doubt your LL is going to remember what you planted and where.
I took my Rose of Sharon with me when I sold my other house. Nobody noticed.

You're probably right! The owner lives in another state, and her agent (a friend of hers earning a little extra money) is thrilled I'm not the previous tenant!

Do they provide a budget to buy perennials and supplies with?

Does the rent amount reflect that condition?
Have the costs involved with gardening been discussed at all?
