🌿 Results — Tally Your Answers!

Mostly A’s: The Edible Enthusiast
You’re here for the harvest. Raised beds, fruit trees, salad greens, and a kitchen that smells like basil—you’re the kind of gardener who wants your plants to do double duty: look good and feed your family. Your dream garden is functional, fruitful, and probably full of cherry tomatoes you snack on before they make it inside.

Mostly B’s: The Precision Planter
You like your plants like you like your spreadsheets: tidy and intentional. Square foot gardening? Companion planting? A drip irrigation system you installed yourself? Check, check, and check. Your garden reflects your love for order, efficiency, and a well-laid-out plan—Pinterest would be jealous.

Mostly C’s: The Whimsy Grower
You don’t plant vegetables. You curate vibes. Your garden is full of mossy corners, moonflowers, and maybe a fairy or two. Think: wildflowers, ferns, twisted branches, and whatever looks like it might’ve inspired a fantasy novel. Your style is deeply aesthetic and unapologetically magical.

Mostly D’s: The Chaos Cultivator
Instructions? Who needs ‘em. You like your garden like you like your life—spontaneous and a little overgrown (in the best way). You’re the type to rescue sad-looking plants, grow things from scraps, and experiment with whatever seeds were on sale. Your garden thrives on love, intuition, and a touch of “let’s see what happens.”

Mostly E’s: The Herbal Mystic
You grow with purpose, intention, and maybe a sprinkle of ritual. Your garden is full of calming herbs, healing plants, and good energy. You speak fluent chamomile, your shelves are full of tinctures, and your plants are probably listening to ambient playlists. Your garden is a sanctuary—both for you and the plants that call it home.
