- people who are curious and want to know what is going on in the garden
- folks interested in a multi-step, slow approach to building a garden. let’s see what works and what doesn’t and build upon your landscape investment in stages.

- a working map of where plants / beds / paths / etc should go
- possible plants & their growth behaviors
