THE GREENHOUSE
A work in progress, these points detail her initial discovery and repair of the greenhouse:
Location
Matrix found a pre-existing greenhouse five blocks or so outside of Inferni's territory in the old human city. She decided to claim it, as well as about three acres of land surrounding it, as her own.

Addition
Her first task was to construct a storage shed of sorts. It was built by hand and resembles a log cabin in structure. It is located along the northern wall of the greenhouse and passing through it is the only way to get inside. Inside, there are shelves filled with various tools, as well as her
furnace (see below).
Furnace
An old furnace was taken from a glass-blowing exhibit at the old amusement park. Over the period of about a week, she used a dolly to move it to her location with the help of Skoll. She now uses it as a source of heat for any crafting she does, in addition to keeping the plants warm in the colder months.
Repairs and Maintenance
Broken panels were repaired once the furnace was in place. Old debris was removed and the roof was swept clean so light could penetrate more easily.
Clean-up
In an effort to make the whole area more zen-like, Matrix decided to remove the six nearby houses by burning them to the ground. She ripped out the fences that divided the properties to expand.
Once spring rolls around, Matrix intends to do more landscaping. The following points embrace the "final vision" of the greenhouse:
Indoor Flora; Part I
The predominant motive behind the project was to grow marijuana plants so that she had a steady supply of weed, even in the winter. As such, roughly 1/2 of the greenhouse is devoted to this cause. As time progressed, however, Matrix decided to make the greenhouse her home. Approximately one quarter of the greenhouse is to be filled with sweet-smelling and colourful flowers to enhance the atmosphere she wishes to create for herself. These will be mixed in with the marijuana plants, especially along the perimeter where they can be seen.
Indoor Flora; Part II
One quarter of the greenhouse is set aside for others to potentially use. Matrix figures that healers can suggest useful herbs for her to grow, or, if trusted enough, can personally access the greenhouse and tend to their plants on their own.
Outdoor Flora
In the spring, Matrix intends to plant wild flowers and outdoor marijuana, which she will tend to less and mostly let nature run its course. Along the perimeter of her property, she intends to plant trees (in hopes they will block out more of the ugly city).
Outdoors (Further Plans)
Pathways will weave their way through the field of wild flowers outside. A retention pond will be built so water doesn't need to be brought in from so far away, and there will be several areas nearby for sitting and relaxing.
