A wiki?  It is one, after all.

I do like the garden metaphor.  I had a slightly different set of
issues that I was trying to address in working on
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Test/Metaphors, but you'd be welcome to
make any changes you like to it, to incorporate your WikiGarden.  (I
had some fun reading what comes up when you google wiki garden, btw)
