The current community recipe table lists a Stackmon Garden as 1 Soil + 4 Twigs + 1 Water with one Neutral-affinity Trainer or Stackmon. Two matching Garden cards create the next upgrade when a Neutral-affinity worker is added, and Garden +2 can be restored with Water.
Player answer
Quick answer
Combine 1 Soil + 4 Twigs + 1 Water with one Neutral-affinity Trainer or Stackmon to make a Garden. Use 2 Gardens for Garden +1, then 2 Garden +1 cards for Garden +2; add the Neutral-affinity worker to each upgrade stack.
Make the base Garden with Soil, Twigs, Water and a Neutral-affinity worker.
Combine two Gardens with a Neutral-affinity worker for Garden +1.
Combine two Garden +1 cards the same way for Garden +2.
For exact details: Read the live output preview before releasing the worker, especially after a patch changes recipes or building uses.

Build the first Garden
Place 1 Soil, 4 Twigs and 1 Water together, then add one Neutral-affinity Trainer or Stackmon. Before releasing the worker, confirm that the current output preview names Garden. This protects the scarce Water if an old or cross-game recipe has been copied incorrectly.
1 Soil
4 Twigs
1 Water
1 Neutral-affinity Trainer or Stackmon
Upgrade to Garden +1
Place two base Garden cards together and add one Neutral-affinity Trainer or Stackmon. The current community table lists Garden +1 as the result. Keep the two cards separate until the preview shows the upgraded Garden.
Upgrade to Garden +2
Repeat the same pattern with two Garden +1 cards and one Neutral-affinity worker. Garden +2 has more uses and can be restored with Water, making it the version to preserve instead of selling when production pauses.
Restore Garden +2 with Water
Combine Garden +2 with one Water when its uses need restoring. Patch 9.0.78 confirms that Garden participates in the Depleted-building system, while the live card remains the safest place to confirm the current restoration result before spending Water.
Use the Garden for planting jobs
A Garden supports plant production and consumes uses while working. Match the plant or food card to the current recipe, assign the required worker and keep one Water in reserve if Garden +2 is central to the next food or resource loop.
Do not copy a Stacklands formula
Search results can mix Stackmon with Stacklands because both games use cards, Soil and Gardens. They are different games with different recipes. If a guide uses Stone or Wood and never names Stackmon, do not spend those materials here; use the Soil, Twigs, Water and Neutral-affinity combination above and verify the preview.
