Happy meadows
Start by distinguishing the harvest basket from the daisies. Matching three crops harvests their colour; a daisy is collected only when its own plot is harvested. Look for a move that advances both counters. The opening gardens do not all share the same move budget, so check the table before aiming for three stars.

Two demanding gardens to prepare for
Why these two gardens?
They are selected by comparing the three-star threshold with the available move limit.
Garden 9 : 22 moves
For three stars: at most 16 moves.
Only berries count here. If there is no berry match available, harvest beneath berries that are already close together to bring them into line. Other colours help arrange their fall; there are no flowers or blockers to finish alongside them.
Garden 4 : 19 moves
For three stars: at most 13 moves.
The two daisies are this garden’s only goals. Look for crops you can match on their plots, even if a larger match is available elsewhere. After collecting the first, keep track of the second as pieces fall: it stays on its plot.
