Seedlings are very easy to dig and pot up. Before you dig water the area a day or two before digging so the garden soil will stay with the roots. I pot into the appropriate sized pot, water well and keep in a shady area for a few days to prevent wilting. I just dug up 18 Hellebores last week and they are doing fine. If you are trying to dig and pot native plant especially trees you need to do it when they are only two or three inches high as they grow tap roots that make them difficult to dig with out killing them.

When potting always use potting soil. Garden soil in a pot does not drain well enough. Al
