"Home Improvement" isn't the most descriptive name, but it is something many people will be familiar with. This site should be about the structure and systems of a residential building. That includes how these things work, details of repairing and maintaining them, and adding/removing/modifying them. Examples include plumbing, electrical wiring, heating, air conditioning, walls, finishing a basement, etc. This is not meant to include things you generally do at home. This site isn't about cooking, for example, just because that's something you primarily do in the home. For the same reason, gardening shouldn't be part of this site. It's really got nothing to do with the design, operation, and maintenance of a home. A live roof might be an exception, but then it's not about the gardening aspect as much as keeping the "garden" functional as a roof. Gardening, like cooking, would make a good topic for a separate site.
