Hi k1s3k1,
 Trace is the way to go for accuracy but it might not be a good idea if you
have a deadline. You could try placing your shrubs manually and adjust

can move your camera away from its final position so that you can see where
you have placed the objects.
IMO if this project is an assignment make sure that you have something you
can hand in first then tidy it up and make it look good. You seldom get
marks for spending all of your time experimenting with no results.
