 One possibility is to use the concept of companion planting as a framework to build a set of helper characters. Each character would represent a species of plant, and it's relationships with the others would follow the relationships of the rules of companion planting - where some plants are advantageous to plant together and others are not. As this is the one of the key themes we wish to deal with in the game, making it present here creates a clearer message and explores it from an interesting angle. For instance, each character could dispense information on it's family of plants, and have a little knowledge about plants that affect it in the system of companion planting. In terms of interaction, these characters could resemble the popular conception of the Greek gods, and be able to be summoned to help or hinder you - yet having their own relationships and complexities that you are entangled with.
