As it stands, gardening is a bit lame. Growbeds and pots perform the absolute bare minimum of their potential functionality, and could stand to gain some serious TLC.
Here are my suggestions on how growing plants could change to be much cooler and more fun.
1. No more inventory for pots and growbeds.
Plants would now be growable by right-clicking pots/growbeds with seeds, upon which a plant would start growing wherever you clicked. Each plant would have a different (but small) hotbox size so that they couldn't be planted ontop of eachother. This would allow much more creativity in growing cool gardens and such.
2. Variety of plant models.
Every type of each plant shares the same exact model, oriented the same exact way. This is stupid and looks very ugly, especially with creepvine and bloodkelp. Each plant should have at least 3 different models, 5 different (but similar) maximum grow sizes, and a completely random orientation.
3. Equality
Pots can't be placed outside, and I don't like having to use only the 3x2 growbeds instead of the 2x2 growbeds outside. All pots and growbeds can now be placed either inside or outside.
4. Choosable growing medium.
Pots and growbeds would now have a large number of soil options to choose from, changeable by right-clicking them and pressing a button. The button would instantly change the growing medium for no cost. Examples include sand, dirt, grass, that coral-like stuff from the grand reef, bloodkelp mycelium, etc.
Anyways, those are the improvements I deem most important for gardening. Thanks for reading.

How about allowing type to be chosen at creation?
Additionally, soils would only be accessible if you've already been to a certain biome before.
