Zones and areas
| Zone | Minimum area |
|---|---|
| Patio | 24 m² |
| Bed | 10 m² |
| Lawn | 6 m² |
The zones ask for 40 m² of the 80 m² site, 50%. The generator also reserves a connected path from the south gate to every zone, which is why a wish list cannot use the whole area. Read the garden zone budget guide for the arithmetic.
