What Gardener is good at
- Huge hits (420 damage) from up to 6 plants at once.
- Roses on the path slow zombies by 24%, so she damages and controls at the same time.

- Expensive to place (900) and slow to attack (2.89s).
- Not summonable: farm Chapter 1 Act 5 at 1% per win or save 28,000 Crayons.
Where to place Gardener
- Place Gardener near a long stretch of path inside her range (26.9) so she has room for all 6 plants.
- Her roses slow zombies, so put your fast attackers just after them.
