Guides & resources
The plot layout and the starter checklist are always free — enough to plant your first guild. The deeper printable guides cover soil building, every plant and its swap-in, the eight-step learning path and keeping a harvest. Everything is on this one page: what is free, what it costs, and how to pay.
