My question to you is this - If i want to plant shrubs , plants and
flowers in soil which is clay then how do i first of all prepare the
ground ?

There's a FAQ about clay soil but don't use FAQ as a search term as it's
not called a FAQ for some bizarre reason. IIRC it's called a welcome and
the link to the FAQs are in the body.
