Personally, I favor a randomized grid survey with fixed or variable radius plots depending on the homogeneity of the vegetation. Good statistical comparability between sites and simple to install with a GPS and standard mensurational techniques. A nested subplot is usually used when working with trees to sample regeneration.

I'm using 10m quadrats picked using a stratified random sample by elevation.
Elevation is the variable with the most variation at my study locations. Most of my data is only accurate to 10m.

What do you want to do with it, specifically?
Grow them elsewhere in greenhouses or lab?
I think you might be able to get some good tips from watching Discovery and other science channels. All I know is just put the tiny plants in test tubes, or small bags, and seal with air.
